The danger Trump poses to Republicans

Immediately after the election, I found myself feeling unexpectedly content with the result.

Like many conservatives, I’d hoped President Trump would be reelected primarily because I didn’t want the Left rewarded for its violence and rampant intolerance or put in a position to turn its anti-American prejudices into policy. But I expect I’d have agreed before Nov. 3 to a guaranteed outcome in which Trump failed to secure reelection while Republicans kept the Senate and made Nancy Pelosi’s leverage in the House as flimsy as her excuses for breaking lockdown to get a hairdo.
