If it wasn't OK for Obama to replace scalia in an election year, then it's not OK for trump to replace Ginsburg.

Republicans are ruthless and don't give a fuck about rules, fairness or consistency.

Democrats need to learn from this, and find as many structural exploits as possible to destroy the republican party. Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, abolish the electoral college, pack the courts, RICO investigations into Trump and the RNC. The works. If the republican party is allowed to survive in its current form, the US isn't going to.
