What those Republican Senator and congressmen—who will not, even now, denounce the president’s efforts to overturn the results of the election—are showing us by refusing to acknowledge that Joe Biden was the winner is that they are prioritizing their personal needs, like that of job security, over duty to country.

In reality, their actions amount to nothing short of a betrayal of their oath of office, as well as a severing of the bonds of trust that previously existed between them and those they were elected to serve.

Furthermore, the failure of these public officials to defend the constitution from assault means that they are complicit in that very assault and yet, their refusal to acknowledge the truth of their leader’s calumny only serves to encourage those in thrall to this man—arguably the gravest threat to the democracy he purports to protect—to drift even further from reality in their hopes, dreams and expectations.

The ironies abound!

As does the tragedy!
