political landscape. a landscape in which the former president has developed a cold like following that was willing to storm the u.s. capitol in order to demonstrate its loyalty. one in which a major political party, the gop, is still reluctant to condemn that following it despite the clear risk it poses to our democracy. there have been few times that a president or presidential candidate has been bold enough to outright condemn a segment of the electorate. obama in 2008 call that some republican working class voters for voting against their own self interests and it s the clinging to quote guns and religion, and of course that was a private event. still, those comments, as you may recall, prompted immediate backlash. hillary clinton in 2016 said half of trump s followers belonged in a quote basket of the portals. her comments were really against her for the rest of her presidential campaign. and now, joe biden 2022 says trump and his supporters of maga republicans threaten

At which point, the clock resets and we start again.
