I think about this quote from David Frum @davidfrum.bsky.social quote a bit these days:
“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”
We are seeing this play out in increasingly dramatic fashion.

Attacks on the rule of law, our courts and our profession show no signs of abating. Many have wondered where the lawyers are and how they are responding. The ABA hears the call to action. We do not stand alone: ambar.org/akz90o52

The attack on the rule of law is serious. Foreign investors flock to US stocks and US government bonds because we are a stable country that follows norms and enforces the rule of law. What happens when that is no longer true?

When the story of this time is written, much of the blame will be placed squarely on the shoulders of Mitch McConnell who put party and political power over all else.

This is one of the most frightening, though unsurprising, developments. It's a test, but not exactly a loyalty test. More of a test of character. Will you accept lies as truth? Will you repeat the lies. That's what this is about.
