No one seriously denies that the Republican base has utterly lost its mind; the only question is how shamelessly GOP politicians will pander to that lunacy. For Hawley, the limit has not yet been reached. But every once in a while someone admits the truth; as Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) wrote on Facebook, “When we talk in private, I haven’t heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent — not one. Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will ‘look’ to President Trump’s most ardent supporters.”

It would be more remarkable if a side show did not develop after the reality star President’s crushing defeat at the polls last November. The show will take place on January 6th in a remarkable show of just how strong the anti-democracy forces have become in this nation and the desire for autocratic rule in some circles. Biden’s win will be certified and the damage to our democracy will be long lasting.
