That article was all over the place, largely underestimates the moment, and completely misunderstands the purpose of the laughably weak Republican pushback, but the last paragraph at least tries to clean it up.
This is also not a call to stand down, to relax, to be less vigilant. It’s merely an observation: Public outcry has succeeded. It’s made it impossible for Trump to sustain his coup. If the people keep this up, they will succeed even more.
I’d also moderate his language significantly. Public outcry has absolutely not succeeded, but it has helped give some ammunition to elected officials and confidence to civil servants, so it’s true that we will absolutely fail without sustained public outcry. But we are still light years away from succeeding.
