Congress, at least on the GOP side of the aisle, have learned that they can attempt a coup when they lose and suffer no consequences. The Dems have clearly not learned that lesson.

The Dems think that following the rule of law and the Constitution, and not staging coups, is a better way to run a government. Frankly, I am glad that we have not reached the stage where both of our major parties feel they should stage a coup if they lose an election. We tried an extreme violation of norms 164 years ago, and it was a very traumatic and deadly experience some of us have learned is best avoided. The Dems do need to figure out a way to overcome the right-wing media oligopoly/Trump cult and win an election by appealing to voters, including men, who did not graduate from college.
