Sad, isn't it?
That's because those views have become normalized over the last six years. Congress had all sorts of remedies which it chose not to invoke in order to ensure that the administration's lawlesnssness (sic) and torture regimen ceased and that there were real consequences for that condcut.(sic) -- from lawmaking to investigations and even impeachment. They chose instead to allow it all to proceed.
Yes, it is sad, but to those of us who have been paying attention this is certainly nothing new. This "normalization" of all of these horrors -- it is who we are now. We are what we do after all. Chris Floyd got it right in his Post Mortem America piece.
"A Republic, if you can keep it." I doubt Franklin would be surprised by any of this. Ahh well... it was a semi-good run while it lasted.
