- Title
Unity: What Is It Good For?

LEVINE, ANDREW
- Abstract
But it lasted until and then after Trump's electoral defeat, not so much because Trump held it together, but because today's Republicans are too morally and intellectually decrepit to stand up against a petty tyrant wannabe. On the other hand, House and Senate Democrats, having no Trump of their own, under-performed - not enough to cripple the Biden administration, but enough to assure that it will have a hard time ahead. * * * Biden won both the popular and the Electoral College vote handily, but only because with Trump being catastrophically and embarrassingly awful from Day One, and with him decomposing mentally in full public view towards the end of his term, Biden could hardly not have won - or rather Trump could hardly not have lost. However, by the time that Trump turned the GOP into a Trump cult, all semblances of intelligence and decency were already on life support.
