The GOP is left fighting on two fronts; against trump and against Biden. To survive does it make peace with one of them? A sea change is underway, finally something new is coming.

Yeats captures it best in his poem The Second Coming ...And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

We have the best commenters! I've never had Yeats quoted in a comment to anything I've ever written.

Thanks. The whole poem is worth a read. It was written at the end of WW1 in the midst of the Influenza pandemic and is about the loss of a shared vision and set of beliefs. Much like whats going on with claims that the US govt is illegitimate and fraudulent.

Well, Mr Trump is gone and has said nothing publicly today. Maybe you can get around to covering the democrats' pleas to adopt their views and do things their way so we can finally have unity.
