Choosing a Path

For John, BLUF:  What is the way forward in 2021 and beyond?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Joe Biden ran on bringing back normalcy.  With COVID, riots and a looming impeachment trial, that task just got tougher

From USA Today, by Reporter Ledyard King, 18 January 2021.

Here is an excerpt:

Glenn Harlan Reynolds, a University of Tennessee Law School professor who runs the political blog Instapundit, said Biden’s efforts to promote unity won’t be helped if liberals continue to seek retribution after Trump leaves.

“If you want a return to normalcy, act normally,” he said.  “That means ending the talk of making lists and prosecuting Trump supporters, and of prosecuting Trump.  You can’t have a successful democracy if people feel that their lives and careers are in danger when they lose an election.  That’s what destroyed the Roman Republic.”

Professor Reynolds reports himself doubtful.

However, as distasteful as it may be, that is the path to success.
