The party doesn’t get any credit, but some of those individuals do. Nearly every Republican witness in the Jan 6 hearings that sacrificed their reputations within the party. I don’t read comment sections.

I don't usually read comments either, but this column made me want to know what people thought of the piece & I'm glad I read them. It was reassuring.
I think everyone has been giving Raffensberger, Pence, Rusty Bowers, Luttig, etc their due, and we're all very thankful. But I wouldn't consider that means they are the ones who saved democracy in America. There were a lot of others involved - Capitol Police, Nancy Pelosi, judges and, yes, voters rejecting the GOP project.
I hate to admit it, but it’s true. At the same time, it was literally the least they could do. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/08/04/trump-indictment-jan-6-republicans-saved-democracy/

Delusional.
There were some who did the right thing in 2020, but they were in the VAST minority. And as you say, it was the least they could do.
I'm with these guys: the ones who saved Democracy were the Democrat & Independent voters.
And they saved it from the #GOP.
And we're still fighting em to save democracy, which is still under threat from them.
Read the comments. They pretty much agree
