The closing of the Republican mind: The tax debate offers a clear measure of how deeply insular the GOP has become — it’s now governing solely of, by, and for Red America. The G.O.P. is rotting: The party is selling its soul, doing harm to every cause it purports to serve. The GOP is trying to pass a super-unpopular agenda — and that’s a bad sign for democracy. How a democracy dies: Donald Trump’s contempt for American political institutions is only the latest chapter in a history of opportunistic attacks against them. Francis Wilkinson on how the survival of rule of law depends on 2018 midterm elections. Roy Moore: America “was great at the time when families were united — even though we had slavery”. Steve Bannon: Electing Roy Moore isn’t politics, it’s war.
Dems warn GOP: We’re prepared for class war. We’re supposed to apologize and ask permission to talk about Trump’s fitness to continue in office? We can’t fix this at the ballot box.
