The GOP has trained everyone else to frame politics as “How can we change Republican minds?”

It’s a bit like deciding the only way to beat an invading army is persuade them not to attack: at some point, you just have to use the forces at your disposal https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1330617121185943552?s=21

If the GOP is being intransigent and refusing to accept the results of an election, your two options aren’t “do nothing” and “convince Republicans to behave better.”

You can also take the majority of the country on your side and rally them against the sedition on the other side

Is that an ugly solution that’s unpredictable? Sure is! But the alternative - holding back because you can’t find an airtight plan that will 100% guarantee a positive outcome, and thereby losing ground and maybe the whole war - is even worse, pure McClellanism
