only two republicans who show up for the sort of commemoration and the moment of silence, i found that stark and worth a thousand words and unnerving. what do you see when you see that? well, first of all, there were no republicans in the chamber at all. it was just completely empty, devoid, not as usual just of ideas but devoid of physical presence over on their side of the aisle. and that was chilling. it was a little bit like a sci-fi movie. i was happy liz came and happy that she brought her dad because i ve been trying to check out the history of coups around the world and, you know, in greece, argentina, chile, whatever. you can t find an example of an attempted coup and serious fascist push in society where progressives and liberal parties alone defeat facism. you need a coalition of liberals and the center right.
