American Politics In A State Of Flux: Where Will It Go???
"There are two big arguments dominating American politics right now. Democrats are currently in disarray trying to figure out the future. The questions they have are about how bold they should be in using their new powers: More stimulus? Use reconciliation? Kill the filibuster? Abandon outreach to Republicans?
Republicans are mired in a debate about the past: what to do about DONALD TRUMP. The all-consuming conversation about this single political actor is eclipsing everything else on the right: policy debates, political strategy, the advancement of fresh faces.
The spate of threatened primary challenges ripping the party apart are uniformly about loyalty to Trump. The state-level intra-party spats that have made headlines in Arizona, Kentucky and Oregon are not about raising up the best political strategists to steer the local parties forward; they are about condemning Republicans who have criticized Trump. The GOP’s potential 2024 aspirants are frozen in place, still being asked to respond to every scrap of Trump news and stuck in an endless cycle of political calculation about whether it’s safe to unyoke themselves from him."

All presidents up until now have followed an unwritten code of ethics, observing that we only have one president at a time.
When their term of service is concluded, they refrain from making public statements.
They also respect the government institutions of our great country, and all the efforts which are undertaken to ensure a secure election.
Trump has broken that code of conduct, and it has torn this nation apart.
As if the fire of his chronic lies was not bad enough, this denial of the election outcome has thrown gasoline on that.
This demonstrates that 1) he cannot accept reality, and 2) that he does not care what happens to the United States of America.
What a sore loser.
I hope he faces criminal prosecution and gets locked up.
