Elsewhere, Among What's Left of Conservatives Who Still Believe in Democracy

Lord knows that I've spent a lot of pixels beating up on Jeb Bush, but he, saints preserve us, is making sense:

This is crazy. it will be killed on arrival. Why are smart people advancing this notion? Let it go. The election is over. https://t.co/ocvaAYnata

Linda Chavez, who is hardly a liberal, had some harsh words for her fellow conservatives:

The intellectual dishonesty here is breathtaking. For individuals and organizations that champion the rule of law and claim the mantle of the founding principles of our nation to call for overturning an election reeks of hypocrisy. It was one thing for them to advocate for so flawed a man as Trump to lead our nation. But the American people have spoken and to continue to claim that the election was stolen, that votes were fraudulently counted, is to attack the very foundations of our democratic institutions. They sow distrust in democracy itself—formerly the provenance of the far left. Politicians may fear the wrath of Trump’s legion of followers if they speak out, but what is it that drives the “thinkers” like [Bill] Bennett and [John] Eastman? They should know better than to parrot insane conspiracy theories and promote specious legal arguments.

While I am generally content to be the age that I am and to have had the experiences that I have had, when it comes to this topic, I wish that I had another sixty years on this world in order to remind conservatives, at every possible chance, just how hypocritical they have been and how disloyal they have been to the Constitution. I do intend to remind every Repubican of this and that if they didn't speak up against Trump's coup attempt, that they had to have been in favor of it.

Meanwhile. Lucasfilm is really going to make another run at nuking the fridge. This bullshit has been talked about for awhile, but it appears that they are going to do it.
