What Frum said. Biden is old and did not perform well, but the reason for the crisis is Republicans backing an authoritarian who attempted a coup. The fate of American democracy cannot and must not depend on one party always winning elections.

Miss me with the implication that Reagan wasn't a dictator loving criminal, but the rest is fine.

You probably saw it already, but Frum's article out last night, which has some of this thread embedded in it, is also very good:

I mean he's wrong about Nikki Haley not being a threat.

my only disagreement with Frum is that I think the whole party has, unfortunately, gotten pulled into the rot, so counterfactual Haley isn't going to save us either. but the general point is correct: this should be horserace, not an existential fight

Even aside from the pragmatic problems with it: When it's clear that democratic elections will only continue to exist as long as one specific party always wins them, then you already don't have democratic elections anymore, but something qualitatively different.
