because they have no other obvious option for capturing votes.

However, trump and fascism will not be the blueprint. It will go down hard and fast as soon as trump, his family, and his associates start getting indicted. That is happening fast as Tish James' strategy of tricking trump into losing it last night resulted in his most damning documents.

They will keep some trajectories, such as destroying the voting laws, however, many of these will be mitigated through the courts.

McConnell is formulating a strategy away from the crazies, as hard as it may seem. If it were an obvious path, we would guess it.
