LEE KRAMER'S ROOM: With Views

[fuagf]

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA. Conservative anti-democratic extremism rejected. For now. Be warned though - seriously warned -

"In a reflection of how deeply the lie became embedded in the party, more than 200 election deniers will take office at the national and state level in January. And Florida, which has emerged a Republican power center during the pandemic, turned out big margins for the party, with traditionally Democratic counties including Miami-Dade and Palm Beach flipping red.

"Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun
[...]
“The democratic emergency is already here,” Richard L. Hasen, a professor of law and political science at UC Irvine, told me in late October. Hasen prides himself on a judicious temperament. Only a year ago he was cautioning me against hyperbole. Now he speaks matter-of-factly about the death of our body politic. “We face a serious risk that American democracy as we know it will come to an end in 2024,” he said, “but urgent action is not happening.”
P - For more than a year now, with tacit and explicit support from their party’s national leaders, state Republican operatives have been building an apparatus of election theft. Elected officials in Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states have studied Donald Trump’s crusade to overturn the 2020 election. They have noted the points of failure and have taken concrete steps to avoid failure next time. Some of them have rewritten statutes to seize partisan control of decisions about which ballots to count and which to discard, which results to certify and which to reject. They are driving out or stripping power from election officials who refused to go along with the plot last November, aiming to replace them with exponents of the Big Lie. They are fine-tuning a legal argument that purports to allow state legislators to override the choice of the voters.
P - By way of foundation for all the rest, Trump and his party have convinced a dauntingly large number of Americans that the essential workings of democracy are corrupt, that made-up claims of fraud are true, that only cheating can thwart their victory at the polls, that tyranny has usurped their government, and that violence is a legitimate response.

From yours -- Let rooster's compatriot Louisianian say what rooster lacks the integrity to understand:

Trump will never be fully gone from the scene, but he will have less of an impact. Politics has been a real money maker for Donald and he's not about to let a Good Grift go. Basically, all Trump has to do is ride a comfy jet to a fund raiser, repeat the same lies, and the loot rolls in. The number of his supporters will wane, but it's "easy money" to keep fleecing the diehard.

Like fearful rats hidden under Trump's floorboards, republicans will gradually break ranks with the master con man. After all, if he cannot guarantee their election and his fund raising begins to falter, it's time for the misguided to follow a new pariah, coming soon out of Florida.

And who knows, maybe AG Garland will decide it's OK to indict a former president after waiting two years. Once upon a time Garland said: "No One Is Above The Law".

Time to put up or...

What a difference in maturity and wisdom a mere 81.5 miles in Louisiana can make. Or maybe it's more
a mark of the difference between males and females in that poor, flood-prone, heavily Republican state.
