A corollary to Abe Lincoln—you can’t fool all the people who voted for you all the time— explains Trump’s collapsing approval ratings. Trumpian flimflam has hit its limits. A reasonable majority exists. It’s searching for alternatives to a leader & a movement it has found wanting.
Trump faces a backlash from The Reasonable Majority. Up to a quarter of those who voted for him are changing their minds as he ignores his economic & health care promises, abuses power on immigration & tariffs and uses office for personal gain & revenge.

The GOP cannot bring itself to end its war on the ACA, despite how much damage it is doing to vulnerable Americans, and how politically catastrophic it is going to be for the Republican Party -- which is (deservedly) going to be punished greatly by voters.

Enten on Trump being 40 points underwater on healthcare: "That is gosh darn awful! It's horrendous ... the bottom line is Americans very much dislike Donald Trump on healthcare ... this is just awful politics for Republicans ... they don't buy the Republican spin at all"

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.
