Political violence waning?

Dear Editor,
Democrats are extremely proud of themselves for modeling the proper peaceful transfer of power this election cycle.
Meanwhile, MAGA leaders are laughing out loud behind closed doors.
The transfer of power this year has seen more violence against the U.S. Constitution than the previous dozen changes of bedsheets in the White House put together.
Think about it: no vetting of cabinet-level nominees; threats of mass recess appointments without required Senate advice and consent; no signing of White House transfer of power agreements; threats to punish politicians who fail to hop on board the Trump train; credible threats to weaponize the Department of Justice, torch the Department of Education, and turn the Department of Health and Human Services upside down; a planned coup to overthrow the professional military; a MAGA-controlled Supreme Court that uses a blank sheet of paper as the U.S. Constitution; a country sitting idly by while our two political parties allow a civil law wrongdoer and a criminal law felon to waltz into the highest office in the land.
Law is dead in America, force likely rules forever more, and Democrats are headed off to Sunday Mass to gloat about how special they are.
