    So the article isn’t quite asking that. It is asking “Do we need people who know what they’re doing, who can fuck things up in careful procedural fashion to get what we want and consequences be damned? Or is it time to start relying more at this point on people who will firebomb the abortion clinics and break in the Capitol to kill our enemies?”

    There’s nothing in there about doing what’s actually legal. It’s just about getting what we want by being political scumbags like McConnell vs. getting what we want by any means necessary.

      After I saw Project2025, I knew we were at this point. When you can plan a literal coup in broad daylight and you don’t get arrested by the FBI, the republic is fucked. Republicans are just deciding if they should continue using the legal framework to sabotage democracy some more or if they’re far enough along for the violent coup to start.
