Those who are true believers in Trump, are always present, they don't go away once an election ends, nor should they. They should disappear simply by going away naturally, being replaced by those who understand this "wobble" in democracy can be fixed in spite of all that appeared to have "failed" as a result of Trump and his henchmen . Quick results are not often possible in eliminating such threats. They have happened in a drip by drip, focused way so we wouldn't see there end result. By the time our alarm bells began to go off, they had enough of a grip on the situation to keep from being stopped easily. We must remain vigulant to these threats and act appropriately when they occur.
Thank you, Barry. I'm hopeful that there are Republican voters who don't talk about it, but know deep down in their hearts and souls what they need to do to save our democracy, will use the privacy of the voting booth to make their voices heard. No one ever has to know what box you checked.
Past Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke of the “pendulum” of U.S. politics: slowly swinging between extremes but always (eventually) moving back in the other direction. Could it be we have reached the end of the arc?
Your article gives a reason to hope we have, but also with a wise word of caution. Thank you, Barry.
Thanks, Jim. That’s a good point - hopefully the pendulum is, indeed, swinging back. But it’s not where it needs to be yet and we all have to push to get it to that place

Well put. We didn’t get here over night and we won’t get this corrected over night.

I am pretty sure there are, but (1) not enough and (2) they need to speak up.
