not that long a piece, written well so easy to get through. his point is that if this long trail of abuses drags on, and all we're offered is Trump 2024, we've learned nothing:

How many disappointments, betrayals, and failed promises do people need to endure before they say, “Never again?”

it's not a droning on, complaining and crying. it's a concise summary of what we have patiently endured and suffered. it's a fair calculation that what we have lost is irreconcilable and irrecoverable -- preventable losses.

his point is that we voted and acted for law and order -- to uphold the Constitution. that did not happen. and excuses are thinning out. if the GOP, under Trump, could not get the ball into the end zone while they had so much power, perhaps that was never their intention.
