Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Do Republicans Like Democracy?

I think that's a fair question.  Republicans in Wisconsin don't want to hold special elections.  In Pennsylvania, they want to impeach judges whose decision will cost them seats.  In Illinois, the nominated a Nazi.  And then there is the fondness for Russia and Putin that extends beyond Trump to people like Dana Rohrbacher. 

I wonder what will happen as more and more Republicans who DO care about democracy look at the crazy people who are traveling in the same wagon as they are.
