Honestly I don't care to nor condone attacking Republicans who are standing against Trump and his rioters. People like Mitch have done a lot of bad, but it isn't about that stuff right now. Its about the fundamentals of democracy. We should accept all the help we get in defending it.
They've been eroding democracy and festering demonization for 30+ years. This is the latest development in a narrative that goes thru Trump, McConnell, Dubya, Gingrich, etc. I'm not giving them brownie points or sympathy if they feel the line ends with the 1-2 of the delegitimization of a presidential election and the storming of the US Capitol
You're right, and these Republicans shouldn't be treated like FFs for speaking out against the coup attempt. That said, we gotta take every minor win.
