Let me get this straight. The next time we have an insurrection

And we will, I guess it will be okay for the Capitol police to allow the insurrections to “have their way” with the republican legislators? Since their won’t be any accountability anyway.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” That line—written by Frank Wilhoit—has become a popular aphorism to sum up the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the modern Republican Party.
