A critical step in avoiding the next attempted fascist takeover, is learn the lessons from Trump & Nixon. You can’t let these guys run around like this then just walk away. They must feel the wrath of the society they’ve wronged. commensurate with their involvement they must be shunned or charged.
The author(s) of this memo will come out and they should be shunned the rest of their careers in the law. (Seeing as how John Yoo is a law professor, I’m not getting my hopes up)

This is the whole thing right here. All these tired fights about whether Dems should moderate are ways of dancing around the real problem, which is the that political parties no longer have any mass constituency.
In many countries, (esp. white, male) workers increasingly vote for radical right parties. Still, a sole focus on right-wing ideology only captures a narrow part of working class consciousness. Most workers, including many right-wing voters, are politically demobilized and distant from all politics.
