re: "The Republicans Who Embraced Nihilism" (The New York Times, December 11, 2020)
Trump and those who supported his legal assault on American democracy show perfectly the fruits of blind faith in the mindless worship of law (and order) above any sense of justice, of decency or of moral right.
Brutish authoritarians everywhere raise the same alters of strict law and order, typically draped in ultra-nationalistic rhetoric, on which to sacrifice the rights of human citizens who threaten their grasp on power.
Thankfully, the US judiciary has demonstrated the decency and independence to repel the attack from the Trumpian administration aided and abetted by wayward elements of the Republican Party.
