let's say they finally step over the imaginary line and just start arresting tons of D lawmakers for whatever reason? governors, senators, reps, whatever

predictions? mine is the dems just roll over and curl their limbs in, begging for mercy, while the disorganized masses of liberals just swirl around leaderless and upset

They'd start collaborating. More than the usual

"Our strategists have told us we need to become even more racist and surely this will appease our colleagues on the other side of the aisle."

Bill of Bill and Ted has something to say.

That's it. We have now crossed the line, the point of no return, the Rubicon. We're talking at least thirty hours of speech-making, followed by a rigorous book tour. The moment demands nothing less.

Senator Schumer and Representative Jefferies meet in the Windy City that was also known as Chicago and it was good. And lo Senator Schumer said unto Representative Jefferies "How are your sales doing, bro? Can I call ya bro? I feel like I can! We're both on book tours?" And Representative Jefferies said "You can call me bro. You can..." and he sang "You Can Call Me Al" And there was much mirth. But Representative Jefferies had hidden anger in his heart. He hateth the term "bro".

I agree. But I'll add that they'll make a lot of "This will not stand," speeches.

"This will not stand!" the 81 year old gerontocract yells before their knees wobble out from under them and they immediately sit.

If republicans actually threatenen democrats, democrats might actually adopt some leftist policies to save their necks on the line.
