"And, like Trump before him, Greitens is behaving like a psychopath who doesn’t care who gets killed as long as it isn't him." I think this what needs pointing out, over and over.
Brilliant analysis! With any luck, though, this "us v them" strategy may at long last trigger a concerted response by Republican politicians that could defang them, including The Former Guy. Comparison class: the Red Scare of the 50s, as chronicled by this article with links to the historical documents in the Eisenhower library: https://www.eisenhowerlibrary.gov/research/online-documents/mccarthyism-red-scare. For years Republican politicians were terrified to stand up to these Red Scare pants on fire liars, hoping the voters would do the job. But finally they banded together and did their jobs.
Thanks, Carolyn! Maybe if a few of the pardon-requesters get arrested we'll see some "RINOs" regrow their spines. I haven't thought about pitching anything to The Atlantic, but it's gratifying to know you thought this piece was at that level!
