Yeah they have a lot of work to do
Democrats acknowledge when their politicians err — for the most part, Republicans don’t anymore.
Nixon sent a good example by resigning when caught red-handed and Reagan went on national TV to apologize for Iran-Contra.
I believe Bush Jr. at long last acknowledged the Iraq War was a terrible mistake, but it was far too late and a dollar short.
However, it’s hard to imagine Trump doing any of that.
His contempt for democracy is so great that it’s gotten to the point where if Trump loses in 2020 he may not concede and we may see actual riots.
I did not use to think that, but at some point over the last few months I think we’ve reached that point.
There is not much left to Trumpism anymore but a molten core of hate that believes a deep state coup is somehow thwarting his every move and which wants to imprison Obama and many others besides.
I believe that AG Barr is holding what’s left of America together. And since he’s a partisan hack (but hopefully not as completely and thoroughly cynical and contemptuous of democracy as Trump himself), that’s kind of frightening.
