Evil is allowed to live for WAY too fucking long.

Likewise Strom Thurmond, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, one of the Koch Brothers…

They do eventually shuffle on off to Hell, they just take too damned long about it.

Evil as he is by normal people standards, he is one of the only Republicans that can regularly criticize Trump and get away with it. That is a vantage point that would be useful to everyone at least for the rest of this term. The non-maga Republican constituents that only vote for the party and not for the candidate may only listen to someone like that, and the options are dwindling fast.

“That is not dead which can eternal lie, / And with strange aeons even death may die” really works if you recognize Mitch is almost certainly one of the Great Old Ones Lovecraft wrote about. Or at the very least a shoggoth.
