1) When in control of the Senate, demand the end of the filibuster; when not, don’t.

2) Call for the end of the Electoral College–but only if it appears to recently favor the candidate of the opposition.

3) In an election year, change any state balloting laws deemed unhelpful through administrative fiat or court order to favor your political candidate.

And still ... if the Republicans achieved significant political power, they would be cautious and well-behaved and not push the boundaries of decorous behavior because ... well ... if the Republicans were to ever play hardball it might drive the Democrats to some unseemly political shenanigans when they got back into power ...

It’s a shame Victor Davis Hanson has to exhaust his incredible talent commenting on a government as odious as ours.

To view what the left has bequeathed us, go to the nearest unflushed toilet and feast your eyes.

The sooner we make the left eat what’s in that toilet, the happier, healthier, and longer lived will be be.

Indeed. If only the dozens (or more) conservative/Constitutionalist writers out there, would actually lead "something", how different it all might be. But I don't fault them; I'm just a cowardly peon myself.

The left wants the world to die of the causes they oppose. They truly want death as long as death is on their side. Death is inevitable but they want the narrative. Abortion, medical assisted death, concentration camps, disease via immigration, violence via ethnic crime, suicide via political correctness delusion …. They want to control death.

Thank God for him! You don’t hear a peep out of the major corporate law firms, the bar associations, the key law schools about the perverse prosecution of Trump by some low-talent, none too bright, communist-leaning prosecutors in New York, do we? the same law professors and commentators who would bend over backwards to represent scum on death row who have no measure of innocence. New York will find out bc not one business person with a smidgen of brains will want to operate there knowing that the law is no longer predictable and readable, that you can get some judge who seems to act as prosecutor, and that the legal affairs of the state are in the hands of someone who talks and acts like a communist.

It’s not just the “Left.”

Democrats work with RINOs (90% of elected Republicans) as the fake opposition to give us the open borders, runaway debt, never-ending wars, etc.

Raid the home of any opposition ex-president who removed classified files; exempt any sitting president of your party who did the same.

The President can take any classified files he chooses where he leaves office. He can even just say he decided to declassify them. There is no paperwork or even verbal declaration required. It works on the honor system.

On the other hand.... the VP may not do this because he has no power to do so.

In other words, what Trump did was business as usual. What Biden did was a crime.

Very good addition, TigerClaws.

This is a spectacular list by Hanson.

Democrats created superdelegates decades ago to stop their black base from 'choosing the wrong person' to represent the party.
