WWRD?......

What would Repugs Do? (WWRD)

With respect to the Dems handling the release of the Mueller Report and all the investigations in the House going forward - the Dems should keep this in mind. If the shoe were on the other foot - how would the Repugs handle it? What would the Repugs do?

We all know they would hold nothing back - and the Dems shouldn't either.

There is no bug-out bag big and well stocked enough or refuge isolated enough to save us from what right-wing extremists would do to our nation if Democrats abandoned the rule of law.

We're already deploying all our power as effectively as our leaders can. So that is what "no holding back" would involve. And without the bulwark our constitutional republic provides, they would win, you know. Our constitutionally based government and our rights outlined in it are the strong high ground we occupy, protect and repel attacks from.

And how others would feel about our actions and vote is an existential issue. A majority MUST support our actions and vote their approval.

So we fight with the powerful weapons we have, that they've been only able to use in very limited manner, and that they haven't been able to overcome. After some dangerous right-wing victories gained through illegal and illicit tactics have made us increasingly aware that it really can happen here, it's they who are currently losing.
