More truth that hurts from Jennifer Rubin

 

The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin doesn't mince words, and her words are true. 

Here's an example.

Republicans created an anti-democratic mob

There's a lot to mull over and digest in this, but here's an excerpt that particularly affected me.

"Republicans who failed to take on Trump not only created a monster, but also misled their own base, rendering them unable and unwilling to accept the results of an election. These politicians and right-wing media personalities are as responsible as Trump for the MAGA masses who believe they are persecuted, regard pressure on election officials as fair game, buy into crackpot conspiracy theories and no longer accept the premise of democracy. 

The lawmakers who scream that Facebook (where the top-performing posts often come from conservative pundits) is out to get Republicans or that climate change is a hoax have turned their base into an unhinged mob for whom facts are irrelevant."
