(15,805 posts)What do Dems gain if we steal a page from the Republican playbook and regress, spiraling down to their level by engaging in petty revenge and retaliation? The Republicans would then repeat that vindictive policy (and let's be honest, they are much better at it than Dem politicians) and the endless cycle of vigilantism would destroy the country, not fix the problems that allowed Republicans to tilt the scales of justice.
If Dems regain power and hope to accomplish anything, and that's debatable, then we should focus on the law and pass fair and just legislation that levels the playing field for all, gives equal rights to everyone, and codifies our voting system. That's the only way we can prevent the next Trumpian monster from arising from the swamp.
