The Most Repulsive Aspect of the Cult of Trump

The meme here suggests something that is very hard to deny about American politics: Republican congresspeople are begging for support from the only person in American history since Benedict Arnold who tried to overthrow the nation.

It’s hard to imagine that Trump’s support doesn’t come at a price, of course, i.e., that they, in turn, pledge to thwart the efforts of Congress and the Justice Department to prosecute the former president on any of an array of criminal charges.

Most Americans are wondering why they wake up each morning to essentially no news from the January 6th Committee.  Perhaps we need to look no further.
