re: #2 Belafon

I was talking to one of my coworkers this morning about the IG firings. His response was that he didnā€™t think that any president could really be controlled. Itā€™s not Democrats that have given up on their party, itā€™s Republicans. And the only think keeping them voting for Republicans is they donā€™t want Democrats in charge.

But it does point out that one of the things we need to figure out how to do is to get Republican voters to actually hold their party accountable for its actions. Maybe something along the lines of ā€œAt least my party listens to my concerns and doesnā€™t try to play to my fears.ā€

It canā€™t be done. Authoritarians have shifted to the GOP. They like strongmen who are unaccountable.
