Brian Beutler: Democrats Approach Their Enabling Moment

[usonian]

1. If you've got a hammer

FRICKIN USE IT

But this is all mostly a sideshow. The real and perhaps final test for Democrats in the Trump era will probably come in just a few days, when Republican leaders approach them for help funding the government and servicing the national debt.

If Democrats provide those votes before the rule of law has been restored, and without locking in any mechanism to maintain the rule of law going forward, they will have in essence assented to the wrecking of democracy. They will have voted for an Enabling Act to raze the American republic. They will etch the words disgrace and surrender into their own party’s epitaph.

Otherwise it's used on you.
Sink the Bismusk.
