re: #277 Hecuba’s daughter

McConnell would be classified as a normal, awful Republican but he probably did more to usher in fascism than any other member of the Senate; he didn’t use physical violence but he worked at tearing down all institutional norms that prevailed before. He used the Constitution against all who believed in civil rights and progress, from his attempts to make Obama a one-term president to his refusal to consider Garland.

Let’s focus on what happened after November 3. Once the election was called on the 7th, McConnell should have come out then and declared Biden the victor. Taking that step would have led to the others in the Senate and Congress following suit. And the Georgia seats would likely have remained in GOP hands.

McConnell is as much a fascist as anyone but his preference is to quietly “knife” you, rather than take any violent actions or voice any violent rhetoric.

Without a doubt. But we have to root for the McConnell wing of the GOP to prevail over the fascists who would violently overthrow democracy and start a civil war in the process. Those are the only choices; not awful Republicans are unicorns.
