This is a short, really simple diary. No pictures of whatever that Thing is in the WH or clickbait headlines.
Writers here and pundits on the teevee are sounding louder and louder alarms about the seditious behavior of our elected officials, their mouthpieces and their goons. Consensus appears to be growing that gee, this ain’t normal, or ok, and maybe we shouldn’t just tut-tut about it. But nobody seems to have even a partial answer for what can be done about it, realistically, in the short term.
So here’s a proposal. Mr Biden, (congrats on the win, btw) you have said that quite a few Republican senators have called you privately to congratulate you on your win, like I just did. It was really easy. So, um, which senators are we talking about here?
You are the president-elect, not a journalist, so you are not bound in any way to protect your sources. And do you really think that keeping their secrets will afford you on iota of gratitude or any help at all with implementing your agenda? Cuz, y’know, duh. They won’t. There is no downside for you, the Democratic Party, or America. Just for them and their cult. Seems like a no brainer, and you are a very intelligent man. Maybe at one of your staff rollouts you could give a heartfelt thanks to those senators for their grace and generosity. Heartfelt enough to call them by name. With perfect diction and right into the microphone.
Out them, Joe. Let them tear each other apart over insufficient fealty to a seditious delusion. Better than letting them tear America apart (further).
