If there's any one thing in the last five years or so that has done the most to convince me that the US is a broken democracy it wasn't the January 6th coup attempt: it was McConnell's justification for refusing to even consider Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court. Nine months before the 2016 election was "too little time" and needed to be pushed to the next president's term, yet Ginsberg died only 46 days before the 2020 election and Barrett was sworn in 38 days later, a week and a day before the election. The hypocrisy and corruption was so blatant I couldn't believe it.
