This is a great piece of political reporting and analysis. It is revelatory and accurate at a surgical level of precision. Every person who cares about winning the 2022 elections for the American Pro Democracy coalition should read and understand what it means. (1) — PolitiTweet.org

I would much prefer to live in a democracy where my policy beliefs are in the minority than live in an autocracy that represents them perfectly. Very few elected officials in the GOP or self identified Republicans would agree with that statement. That is a disaster for freedom — PolitiTweet.org

Is there not a lesson from this in our moment? History offers lessons. Some people could see the threat clearly and some could not. Some saw it very early while for others it was the last thing they saw. It’s hard to imagine that Trump could come back. It’s hard to conceive — PolitiTweet.org
