The speech was totally demented. But I guess the Republicans are just going to allow this nonsense to go on because they are continuing to benefit from it.
And, as I wrote this morning, they will also think nothing of tut-tutting the Democrats for alleged misbehavior, claiming that they are upholding norms and proper leadership as the “adults in the room.” It’s going to be maddening. And also very damaging. Without any accountability, all the next Republican president has to do is not tweet insults and every fascistic move he or she makes will be defended as well within presidential norms.
