And so we find ourselves in the absurd position where Democratic leadership, in the form of Jeffries and Schumer, treats an ongoing coup like an inconvenient scheduling conflict. Their response to democracy’s crisis amounts to little more than checking Robert’s Rules of Order to see if authoritarianism requires a two-thirds majority.

Sick burn. And a bit depressing.

This feels like a generational gap, but I’m not sure if progressives have enough power to fight it. And in our current age, the only ones with the appetite to fight with more violent means are on the side of the authoritarians.
