On pilgrimages - Maureen Dowd in NYT:

'The moment feels reminiscent of Jan. 6 and its immediate aftermath. Republicans go crazy on Trump, say “enough is enough,” as Lindsey Graham did at that juncture, and act as if they’re ready to toss him aside. But it didn’t take long for “my Kevin,” as Trump called McCarthy, to make a groveling pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago.
Republicans refused to convict Trump on impeachment charges and ban him from running for public office. Now they’re living with the consequences. It’s not hard to imagine that this revolt against the revolting Trump will die down in a few days and they’ll all be back behind this person that they blame for their current convulsions.

“If blackmailing Ukraine, inciting a riot, trying to overturn the election, hoarding classified documents, using overtly racist language for seven years, including at Glenn Youngkin today, was not enough to cause you to walk away from Donald Trump,” the political analyst Ron Brownstein said on CNN Friday, what makes people think Trump is toast now?

One of the bright spots of the election is that a lot of people seemed to turn their back on crazy. Let’s hope that Republicans will get the message and move on from the King of Crazy before he gets another shot at destroying democracy.'

Against most expectations and despite Biden's unpopularity the Dems did do fairly well in the midterms.

As Dowd stresses, it's much too early to say that the the days of Trump are over.

How much of an improvement DeSantis is going to be, well, let's wait and see.

The distance from here to Weimar in the USA got a bit longer.

(Also, election advice of Musk is just another editorial.)
