The consequences of the 2000 and 2016 G.O.P. presidential "victories" by slim non-popular vote "margins" are somewhat measurable.
Would the national debt be $5 trillion lower and up to a million more would still be alive around the world if Gore and Clinton had been POTUS
instead of Bush and Trump?
Would states and federal be in better position to respond to challenges of climate change?
One example of opportunity cost of many... if the army careers of the Vindman twin brothers had not been ended by Trump, how useful to the U.S,
while spending billions in Ukraine, to have two Lt. Col. Ukrainian ex-pats fluent in the language and culture, advising on the spending and overall strategy?
What would McCabe and Strzok have further contributed to FBI, CI?
The CIA eliminated in Iraq and Afghanistan what amounted to nuisances compared to the malignant G.O.P. effect.
Did the Trump instigated sedition conspiracy and the attack on the Capitol change everything? If not, what would transfprm the questions I'm asking here from
political to policy questions? Is political and thus, "off limits" disqualified as a consequence of coordinated G.O.P. attacks against democratic norms?
Does it make any sense to employ extreme measures outside the country to eliminate comparatively minor threats while never considering similar response internally
to what are arguably existential threats? Should the CIA be entirely prohibited from eliminating foreigners on foreign soil as operational strategy or should what is determined
to be effective outside the U.S. at least be "on the table," as the G.O.P. seems to accelerate its recent harmful trajectory?
Should U.S. women have a greater say in a Homeland Security evaluation of the G.O.P. as a domestic threat, considering the ongoing erosion of women's rights and
access to healthcare?
Can we afford to rule anything out, especially as China rises and under educated majorities of some U.S. states are influenced via foreign gov. operations to enable the goals
of those foreign aggressor governments?
