Yes, others might stay quiet, but one Republican decided that no one was above the mildest of admonishments. To be sure, the Republican gave credit where credit was due, such as tax policies shoveling money to rich people; you had to credit the loopy dictator there. The statesmanlike Republican did not go so far as to criticize the presiding lunatic for these policies, as, after all, the Republican is still a Republican. But we wondered aloud, for all to hear, can’t the party destroy the future with a civil tone? But for all the brave Republican’s judicious counsel, he received nothing but grief from other Republicans.
