None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

I draw little comfort in the fact that two men who, clearly, have no understanding of how our government is supposed to work, are petulantly breaking it so they can recreate it in their own ignorant, dysfunctional images.
