America's democratic guardrails have been bent, but they haven't broken – yet
Despite more than a 100 House Republicans voting to object, Congress certified the Electoral College count.
Vice President Mike Pence performed his ceremonial duties during that count.
And maybe most importantly, Democrats and Republicans condemned the violence on Jan. 6.
So from Nov. 3, 2020 through Jan. 6, 2021, the democratic guardrails held.
“Our institutions held, but they only held because of the people who were willing to stand up against the pressure from former President Trump,” Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said on “Today” this morning.
But does anyone think those guardrails will hold again?
The newest member of Wayne County’s canvassing board says he wouldn’t have certified the 2020 results. Raffensperger is now in the fight of his political life in Georgia. Ducey won’t be Arizona governor in 2024. And the bipartisan condemnation of the Jan. 6 attack? It’s almost disappeared a year later.
It can get worse.
