At first, he cried wolf because he was bored, needed attention, or behsps both reasons.
The hills answered him faithfully. The sound carried. The villagers came running. Breathless. Furious. Relieved.

That is the phase of the Republican Party. Its leadership is steadily losing authority on the two governing pillars incumbents depend on most: economic stewardship and immigration. What looks like a polling legitimacy problem, history suggests, is more difficult to reverse.
A clear north star to adopt online. The work of democracy happens online and in person on ground, long before Election Day.
