It's infuriating how Democrats always use this excuse. If Republicans think they can get away with murdering or imprisoning every Democrat, they will murder and imprison every Democrat. This has been obvious for decades Republicans don't care about norms or decorum. They care about wielding power.

Obama did this shit with the ACA. Clinton got himself impeached while Newt was pulling the same sexual misconduct. Carter let Nixon undermine the Vietnam treaty. The list goes on and on and we haven't even talked about state or city-level shenanigans.
