I don’t understand your first paragraph, and don’t disagree with


The possible ramifications of overreach by a dem controlled WH and Congress, which could be an even more insidious populist movement from the right.

Back to the first paragraph - I find it interesting that your problem is with “RINOs” (I think the coup supporters are the true RINOs) like Romney, and not the faction that wants to burn the Constitution (or at least not oppose Trump’s efforts to do that).

Used to be that we could all agree on the basics. Respect for elections being the most basic. As much as Trumpies want to claim “DEMS STARTED IT!” with calls to impeach in 2017, or with protests, they didn’t. You have to first accept the results of the election to try to impeach, or even to protest.

Trump and his sycophants are introducing this very dangerous challenge to our 220 or so year history of respect for elections and the will of the people expressed by the Electoral College, and peaceful transitions of power. The problem is that a significant chuck of repubs now don’t. Romney is not one of them.
