“I’m not sure exactly why cowardice has become the norm among elected Republicans who aren’t dedicated extremists. But if you want to understand how the G.O.P. became such a threat to everything America should stand for, the cowards are at least as important a factor as the crazies.”
–Paul Krugman, in “Cowards, Not Crazies, Are Destroying America,” The New York Times, Oct. 28, 2021.
