Conservative columnist George Will’s excellent piece is
worth reading:
“The nation’s downward spiral into acrimony and
sporadic anarchy has had many causes much larger than the small man who is the
great exacerbator of them. Most of the causes predate his presidency, and most
will survive its January terminus. The measures necessary for restoration of
national equilibrium are many and will be protracted far beyond his removal.
One such measure must be the removal of those in Congress who, unlike the
sycophantic mediocrities who cosset him in the White House, will not disappear
“magically,” as Eric Trump said the coronavirus would. Voters must dispatch his
congressional enablers, especially the senators who still gambol around his
ankles with a canine hunger for petting”.
Why have Republican leaders abandoned their
principles in support of an immoral and dangerous president?
