Brendan Nyhan: Beware the temptation to downplay the SCOTUS ruling and to deny its potential implications. We've been down this road before.

Beware the temptation to downplay the SCOTUS ruling and to deny its potential implications. We've been down this road before.

Totally, these types of articles have way too much "Hitler tamed by prison" energy for my taste. It's inconceivable to me, how people are still falling for this crap, when it's been proven wrong again and again.

Everyone knows he’s no mastermind. It’s the people around him who make the plans; he’s just the bullhorn who trumpets it. So, yes, there’s plenty of danger, and he most definitely will NEVER concede gracefully. He’s never done anything in his life gracefully.

Here's a thought exercise: Biden will still be President on January 6, 2025 either way. Based on this ruling could he, particularly if he wins, issue a "shoot to kill" order to the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol if the MAGAts try it again?

Top Republicans back Trump’s efforts to challenge election resultswww.washingtonpost.com Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other GOP officials offered support for the president’s attempts to undermine faith in the outcome, despite the lack of any evidence of widespread fraud.

Over 100 years on this road for the NYT.

Anyinr expecting Trump to have any restraint or a tom Cotton or a Josh Hawley or a JD Vance is simply delusional. Trump is the antonym of restraint.

How did douthat keep his job after that?
