Joe Biden has won the 2020 presidential election decisively, fair and square and there is no doubt about it. He leads the popular vote by well over 5 million and is on pace to reach 306 electoral college votes. All the frivolous Trump court challenges will not overturn that reality. However, what is now very noticeable is that Republicans in the past four years have developed the habit of ignoring misconduct, incessant lying and bullying by the leader of their party. Now in this post election transition period Senators, Representatives, Secretary of State Pompeo and AG Barr are willing to be complicit in Trump’s authoritarian behavior of challenging the will of the people. They seem to agree and thereby validate Trump’s falsehoods about potential rampant voter fraud although none appears to exist. This denial to accept the election result is endangering the traditional transfer of responsibilities from the outgoing administration to the incoming one. This lack of White House participation is appalling. Trump is even withholding from President-elect Biden intelligence briefing information. That is a risk to national security and should be challenged by GOP politicians. But here again, their fear of enraging Trump outweighs their concern for country. Now that is a very dark and sad commentary on Republican’s professed love of country!
