For quite some time now I've been puzzled by the behaviour of many Republicans in office in the U.S. who obviously know their sad emperor has no clothes yet won't point this out, even now it's clear that the Republic itself is genuinely in danger. Today I got to read a brilliant analysis of the situation by Anne Applebaum that seeks to answer the question: Why have Republican leaders abandoned their principles in support of an immoral and dangerous president?
Her answer is clear, cogent and entirely convincing - and should be compulsory reading for all who care for the Republic (and if not for this republic, then for democracy in general.)
