I found Mr Friedman's column hilarious given how studiously he and others of his ilk have ignored or pretended to ignore what was happening with the Republican Party -- the column had the unmistakeable air of a Collaborationist switching over to the Resistance as General Leclerc's tanks were rolling into Paris in August 1944. Friedman' column is a fairly clear signal that Trump's support among the Donor Class is weakening (i.e., their original plan that their reasonably reliable Republican tools (Pence, Priebus, Ryan, McConnell et al.) would keep Trump sufficiently functional to get their tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks failed to take into account that Trump cannot be "handled" as readily as Reagan and Dubya were). Cynically, you can even read the Friedman column as a coded message from the Donor Class to the Republican Party leadership to either get Trump under control or get rid of him, or else face the consequence of the Donor Class, however reluctantly, bankrolling a temporary Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives. You can bet that Mr Friedman will be sinking the praises of all sorts of Rahm Emanuel-type Vichy Democrats to fill out the majority and to ensure that Donor Class interests remain of paramount concern.

It is time for Democrats (elected officials, and shit, all of us, like you say driftglass) to focus the attack. This last fucking week alone is Watergate times 10. When President SmallHands committed treason, Republicans did nothing, and Democrats saved the fucking world. If there ever was a time to show that Both Sides don't do it, to publicly pitch this battle, this is it. Focused concerted effort at the point of attack. There's an opening, this is where we can take the center of the chessboard. Publicly, out in the open, for all the world to see.
