Mitch has all of the horrific public policy outcomes of Trump, absent the entertainer's panache.
He just blandly goes about his business; destroying what's left of American democracy turning the place into an authoritarian state with the sole aim of entrenching even further an already entrenched corporate oligarchy.
Fifty years from now, when the history books are written about this period -- long after Good Ol' Mitch and Trump are (thankfully) long dead -- historians will no doubt single out McConnell as a pivotal player in doing everything he could to transform the United States into a wretched plutocracy with the courts stacked to the far right and a system of jurisprudence that slavishly serves a tiny corporate billionaire class at the expense of the rest of us.
Mitch almost single-handily blew up some of the most consequential rules and norms of the legislative body over which he has held sway for decades. He has done so in a manner similar to how Trump has blown up nearly all the most significant rules and norms associated with the office of the presidency.
Mitch broke it -- he should be made to own it.
Remember this the next time you hear McConnell mumble something from behind his jowls about "bipartisanship" or "reaching across the aisle."
