How long will the wicked triumph? (Psalm 94:3)

Americans won’t vote for this George McFly.

Amanda Marcotte expresses all our anxieties this morning:

“The only thing that will crack the shell of ignorance is arrests and trials,” Marcotte tweets. She’s likely right. The people who need to see Trump naked are not those who’ve shouted for years that he has no clothes.

“The Republicans are actively trying to destroy democracy. Worse, there was a high-profile assault on the Capitol a mere year ago that should, by any reasonable measure, illustrate the profoundly fascistic leanings of the current GOP,” Marcotte wrote in January. Those leanings must be paraded in public.

Yeah, and our other frustrations, too:

Beutler wrote, “[I]f crooks can opt out of the criminal law through public intimidation, we should wonder how much they’ll ultimately get away with simply by threatening to whip up a public shitstorm if they meet any resistance.”

Like schoolyard bullies, they count on others backing down to intimidation. How much more will Democrats take before bringing the legal hammer down?

But they’ll vote for this one.
