Do these state legislatures realize that if their anti-riot legislation was applied to the January 6 insurrection a whole lot of Republicans would be in jail? But of course they do, only BLM protests would trigger arrests, not KKK rallies.
Don’t know if you read the Bulwark, but two pieces today—Sarah Longwell and Olivia Troy—-about democracy and the GOP’s growing alliance with white supremacy are worth your time. Thank you again for your newsletter!

Yup, a whole lot of republicans and several senators/representatives of DT’s administration! Funny, I was just going to post your thought!

Susan, I am a fan of the Bulwark, especially Richard North Patterson. I will check out the articles. I appreciate the tip.
