Changing sides in the middle of a struggle we entered to protect an ally's national sovereignty seems like an abandonment of every feckin' thing the United States ever said it stood for.
Heather Cox Richardson's brief history last night — February 19, 2025 — is about as concise a rundown as we're likely to get.Who will save us [all of us] from the madness of this man who would be king?
Only us, reviving the spirit and practices of democracy that, for 249 years, have sustained this nation's slo-ow Constitutional progress toward fulfilling the aspirations of our Declaration of Independence
This is all on us.
We must stiffen the spines of members of Congress (and governors, attorneys general, and legislators) to join the Courts, acting in fidelity to the law, to check and balance these people — the man and the courtiers — who show daily that they are altogether unworthy of our nation's trust.
If we abandon the spirit of democracy, that spirit will abandon us. And the history of the last century, tells us we won't like what happens next.
