Hey Senator McConnell your partial mea culpa is ineffectual and disingenuous. You and your party have spent the past four plus years fomenting a fanciful insurrection instead of saying "enough"! Your party's platform and deviant behavior has exclaimed strongman, insurrection, deceit, duplicity and dictatorship. Forget the mea culpa. Immediately dissolve and replace your party! Those interested in the playbook, which seems universally followed by all strongmen, including the failed 45th President of the United States of America will enjoy reading Ruth Ben Ghiat's book, Strongmen.
