Does Mike Johnson's Election Show how Far America has Fallen?

  He played a role in promoting Trump's effort to turn over the 2020 election. He is for Big Oil. He is a climate change denier. He once was against military assistance for Ukraine and still isn't fully onboard helping Ukraine. What more could you want in a speaker of the House? He is a member of the Freedom Caucus. It is no wonder Republicans unanimously endorsed him.
   Mike Johnson is one of the more extreme members of Congress. It is no wonder Trump spoke highly of him. That he was unanimously voted for by Republicans shows one of two things, and maybe both: 1) They were anxious to get the House functioning again and embarrassed that it was shut down so long. 2) House Republicans are all such dogmatic extremists that it reflects how far our nation has given way to the far right.
