"In fact, the warning signs for where this could all end up — where the country finds itself now — were clear by late 2021, less than a year into Biden’s term. The public reporting at the time indicated (correctly, we now know) that there was no real Justice Department investigation into [G]rump and his inner circle at that point, even though the outlines of a criminal case against [G]rump — including some of the charges themselves that were eventually brought nearly two years later — were already apparent."
Blaming Biden, Garland, McConnell, and SCOTUS @ Politico for letting Grump get away with it. I still can't hear all the blame being heaped on Harris or Biden. I'm a little more sympathetic to attacks on Dem elites for being too pandering to corporations and conservatives but I still think these are secondary causes at most. Grump and Republicans did this; they are the perps, bad actors. But the principle cause of our current predicament is the Robert's Court. The country, Constitution, rule of law, and democracy were attacked, and have been attacked repeatedly since 2016, and the legal system has not been up to the clear and present national security threat. In fact, SCOTUS facilitated the coup. I know, excepting perhaps the 1950s to the 1970s, the Warren Court, SCOTUS has been a bastion of rotten conservatism in American history forever, especially after the Civil War, but the Robert's Court, packed by McConnell, packed by Trump, has piled up a record over the last twenty years to end them all. SCOTUS, essentially, sanctioned the Jan 6 coup attempt, and until proven otherwise enables all the additional GOP criming going forward.
