What is happening now is not normal politics. We’re seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to — Democrat, independent or Republican.

Absolutely. I've been saying that for years. I may disagree about policies, and I may even disagree that something should be legal/illegal. But at the end of the day, you have to respect rule of law, and procedures, and facts. As long as that is present, I can agree to disagree about any given policy. If it is absent, our democracy is in peril.

Glad a few Republicans are seeing it. Probably not enough in the face of Faux Noise (et al), though. Repeat lies often enough, and people will start to believe them.
