Please read the piece, which makes that exact point but also points out reasons -- hard realities -- why Democrats have a weaker hand than Republicans do if this battle spreads across the map. It is a companion to all the coverage we have done of what the Republicans are up to in Texas.

Thanks Karen, a lot of folks don’t get that it isn’t a level playing field. It’s a heck of a lot more complicated than folks realize.

I also think it is worth reminding readers of how far the country has already gone down this path, and what the consequences already are in our fraying democracy:
