The GOP playbook is predictable

What do we say when we're trying steal an election? We're trying to stop the election from being stolen!
What do we say while we're hoping to discard millions and millions of votes? Let the voters decide!
What do we say to defend a guy who attempted the unconstitutional overthrow of lawful process? It would be unconstitutional to hold him accountable!

...not just replace it with something worse? My theory is any change we need to make we have to have done by early 2022 or we are 1) waiting for the midterms to be settled and 2) we could be losing more of our majority. I sincerely hope we cement in and expand on our majority, but we should not count on that given 70+/- Trump voters and more red states than their should be.

Their only reason for being is to give tax breaks and tax cuts to the wealthy. In their simple minds, the ends always justify the means.
