We've sat through 4 years of being told that criticism of Trump's increasingly undemocratic and dangerous rhetoric was a mental disorder on our part, yet here we are.

Credit to some leading Texas Republicans who have rejected this out, but a number of big name House Republicans have signed on calling for this complete rejection of election results. It was one thing when it was just Trump and his band of disgraced lawyers calling for this. Now we have over half of the House GOP caucus and multiple states calling for our courts to outright just ignore the will of the voters of multiple states because they don't like the results.

This is just a low moment in our history

Yes but if we criticize him what about the millions of people who like him?!?!  Don't we risk alienating a bunch of people devoid of a sense of reality and beholden to one man over their country?

Have you even considered that?!?!
