И я даже не говорю о сегодняшней статье в WP -- It was we conservatives who were largely
silent when the most egregious and sustained attacks on Obama’s
legitimacy were leveled by marginal figures who would later be
embraced and legitimized by far too many of us. [...]To carry on in the spring of 2017 as if what was happening was anything approaching normalcy required a determined suspension of critical faculties. And tremendous powers of denial. [...]
Too often, we observe the unfolding drama along with the rest of the country, passively, all but saying, “Someone should do something!” without seeming to realize that that someone is us. And so, that unnerving silence in the face of an erratic executive branch is an abdication, and those in positions of leadership bear particular responsibility. [...]
If by 2017 the conservative bargain was to go along for the very bumpy ride because with congressional hegemony and the White House we had the numbers to achieve some long-held policy goals—even as we put at risk our institutions and our values—then it was a very real question whether any such policy victories wouldn’t be Pyrrhic ones. If this was our Faustian bargain, then it was not worth it. If ultimately our principles were so malleable as to no longer be principles, then what was the point of political victories in the first place? Ничего себе! Я знаю, что Jeff Flake всегда очень критично относился к Трампу, но, по-моему, до сих пор настолько критичных и однозначных выступлений от действующих республиканских сенаторов или конгрессменов не было. Или были?
