Thanks ! The article spells it out clearly. "Pathetic" for sure. But it is too kind of a word. It all reminds me of King Henry VIII. They yearned to be part of his court. Until they were dragged away to the tower.
"Like Dunkirk, the midterms were a necessary, but not final, victory. The old saw about “the most important election in our lifetime” turned out to be true this time: Without multiple defeats of the worst state and federal candidates in recent history, the unraveling of American democracy would have accelerated and the security of future elections would be in doubt, at least in the states captured by the election deniers and their associated charlatans."
As long as these con artists remain free to peddle the conspiracy nonsense, democracy is in danger.
Also from this publication Mark Leibovich's The Most Pathetic Men in America was exceptional: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/07/kevin-mccarthy-lindsey-graham-trump-devotion-2024-election/661508/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=atlantic-daily-newsletter&utm_content=20221118&utm_term=The%20Atlantic%20Daily
