Why would Mitch McConnell block election security legislation?
Whose brilliant idea was it to give Senate Majority Leader unlimited power to decide what to put for a vote and what not to? Same as in the House. With a rule like that America has never truly been a democracy.
I realize the 17th amendment didn’t happen until the early 20th century but our founding fathers failed to predict the alliance of trump, Mitch and Barr.
I think they had an inkling though, given the fact that many of them were opposed to political parties and the factionalism that it breeds. George Washington's farewell address somewhat anticipated this when speaking about political parties.
But overall, yes, they were all very idealistic and probably couldn't envision such a bald-faced abdication of civic duty nor a citizenry who would rather be entertained by a propaganda machine calling itself "news" than governed with justice.
The perfect storm - a terrible, divisive, self-interested, illegitimate president, a Senate majority leader who is owned by Russia, a compliant, invertebrate set of Republicans, and a roiling country. The perfect storm.

History will not be kind to Republicans.
