What Republicans are doing now is going to give Democrats in the future a virtual license to steal.

The GOP Trump Cover-Up Is GOOD!!
<snip>

Think about it. How can a Republican in the future seriously talk about the rule of law? How can a future Republican Congressional leader talk about Congressional over-sight? How can Republicans complain about the corruption of a Democratic Administration in, say, 2025 when they have looked the other way at corruption in the Trump Administration from the very first hours after the Inauguration?

And the answer is, for all practical purposes, they can't. The minute that a Republican stands up to demand an investigation into any wrong-doing in a future Democratic Administration, the Democratic Speaker of the House or the Democratic Senate Majority leader will just stand up, smile, chuckle a bit and then say the magic words, Donald Trump. - ChicagoNow

Hold your noses for now and lock arms with your fellow democrats, undeterred. Turn about is fair play.

2. The Republicans will continue to do it, while 35% of the American people

remain gullible Luddites.

[Jake Stern]

3. They'll get away with it anyway

They have the media at their disposal.

They have gaggles of multimillionaires and billionaires that are willing to write big $$$$ checks and fund dark money groups.

They have a fiercely committed 30-40% (depending on pollster) that take everything that comes from they GOP as the gospel truth.

4. yeah except the gop has the fucking corporate media on their side

[msongs]

5. republicans and people who vote for them dont care about any of this stuff. they are not

likely to change their minds.

6. I want good government: it wouldn't come from "turn-about is fair play" kleptocrats

[democratisphere]

7. redumbliCONs are great at propoganda and there is at least 50% of

the voting population that is willing to be brainwashed regardless of how heinous the crime. Democrats can never believe any election is going to be easy or we will likely be on the losing side.

9. No, if the Democrats return to power it will be our job to establish fair election systems

fair districting, and uniform application of laws.

[calimary]

10. The only part of this that I did not like was

the “trump will get away with it” part.

[arthritisR_US]

11. Im so discussed, its over.

13. The writer is clearly Rip van Winkles sleepier brother...

I am pleased to inform him the moon landing was successful, but he may want to sit down while we explain the Soviet-grade selective memory of present-day Republicans.

[Renew Deal]

14. How can a Republican talk about debts and deficits?

Democrats have a license to pass any budget busting idea they want.
