Free the Conservatives from Trumpian Hell
All Republicans are trapped in the Trumpian Hell of their worst zealots. The GOP is the morally empty party of insurrection. They’re not even conservative anymore. Many people want to leave. Except…

Republican Silence is Their Unholy Capitulation to Trump
As dangerous as Trump is to democracy, and as violently as he acts out for the cameras, I worry about the Republican silence. Is there any crime or corruption they won’t quietly accept?
