    That’s not what I’m saying at all. What I’m saying is that right now, the GOP lies, but most people don’t.

    Most people understand that lying is bad.

    If we start normalizing all people lying, then the GOP isn’t even lying when they lie. They’re just being human. No one would hold them accountable, because EVERYBODY is doing it.

    But if we hold honesty to a higher ground, and honor those who adhear to it, and shun people who lie, then we have the system that’s still in place right now.

    I know it looks bleak now. I get it. But look at history. Dictators fall. They always fall. And when they do, we put Mussalini’s head on a pike. Hitler knew his only option was a bullet to the head.

    Nixon resigned and had Ford pardon him before he could face consequences.

    But they always fall.

    This particular group of bloodsuckers aren’t in it together. I don’t think tRump will face consequences, but I feel like he’s going to be too selfish to pardon anyone.
