Hunter gets it. The full IT. I just giggle at those talking about "A future tyrant who's better than..." 45 will come along. All that tyrant has to do is win the election (and it doesn't matter if (s)he runs on being a fascist. In fact, they could run professing the ideas of Ben Sasse and turn in office. Power has that affect). From the article:

By evading the question before them, Trump's Republican allies have established the toppling of democratic government and the nullification of American elections as, along with using elected office as profit center and extorting an at-war foreign nation into falsely smearing an election opponent, political tools allowed to those that would pursue political power. Demanding the nullification of an election may be unseemly, when done by movement leaders. But it is allowed. It will be backed by Republican lawmakers, and those same Republican lawmakers will brush aside whatever consequences the attempter may face if the attempt ends in failure.
