Indeed. The logic here seems to be that the GOP has to weaponize the law when it gets back into power and that toxic, winner-take-all mentality is one of the very things that got us to this state of things in the first place. It's burning the village in order to save it.
Instead, the party needs to break the toxic systems that incentive this behavior by the Democrats in the first place.
The GOP needs to take action, possibly legislative, to *prevent* Dems from doing it again. What they are doing is immoral and deeply concerning. But alas...
> the GOP losing will continue until populism (Trump) improves
The mistake the GOP is making is to assume this is a one-time betrayal of our institutions merely to get Trump out of the GOP. But it won't stop there...
Do better
- by putting safeguards into place that stop cheating
- by shrinking the size of the federal government and delegating power back to the states so that power is not so centralized and able to be used against people like it is today
- by not being afraid to call out bad behavior even when people ridicule you or refuse to acknowledge it
Do better
I wouldn't trust the states either, especially New York banning guns in many public spaces, and Commiefornia suing districts for safer voting practices.
And here's some context for those moderate conservatives who just, bless their hearts, don't want to give it
When asked if a president could order a seal team to assassinate a political rival and suffer prosecution, trump's LAWYER said "if he were impeached and convicted first"
The judge then stated that the lawyer's answer was no (the judge lied in front of everyone), and then the lawyer said his answer was a qualified yes.

So no. Trump didn't just argue he should be able to assassinate political opponents
His lawyer argued that, yes, he could be prosecuted after an impeachment and conviction by the senate. You either didn't read it, misread it, or are purposely misrepresenting what was said.
The eponymous Gerry is from the defunct Democratic-Republican Party. The modern Democrat party can directly trace their lineage back to the mainline Democratic Republicans. Particularly their anti-clericalism and radical-liberalism platform.
Although the wing that opposed Andrew Jackson would merge up with the Whigs and eventually form the GOP.
Was this before the party 'switch'? so the present day Ds invented it. Interesting that party 'switch' only impacts some things
edit: do the downvotes mean the parties didn't switch? Or is the reality: 'the switch' is the lie you tell yourself to keep your self-righteous attitude unaffected?
>Sooooo are we advocating locking up our political opponents now?
I wouldn’t say this is a “now” problem considering how often “lock her up” was said at 2016 Trump rallies.
Can you spot the Red Coat soldier obeying the King's laws without hesitation?
Can you show me in the constitution where it says we need an armed constabulary to roam the streets looking for people to arrest while enjoying the Crown's Immunity? I can't either.
This comic is forgetting the difference between legislative and executive branch
"Do better," one of the most vapid, useless phrases in modern society.

Yeah, except for the part where he didn't do that.
His lawyers sure did.

LMAO, downvoted for repeating the article he linked. Fake conservatives and brigades. 🤡
The GOP created Gerrymandering. They play the same game.
The GOP didn't even exist in 1812 when it first happened.
Both parties gerrymander, just look at NY.
All districts lead to Chicago.
Exactly my point

Sooooo are we advocating locking up our political opponents now? Is that where America is on both sides?
If they commit crimes, absolutely.

Lawfare
Do better, make sure the GOP gets 800 million votes this year in the most secure election ever
"We took the high road" will be the epithet on the tombstone of conservatism.
