Most game theory studies show that tit for tat is one of the best strategies. GOP needs to grow a pair and do it.
Very similar to what my dad taught me: Never hit first, but if someone hits you, hit back HARD.
My way of combating what the Democrats were doing, would have been to blast it out so loudly that they couldn’t have stood the heat.
When we do it too, it ensconces a new paradigm which sees both sides willing to live outside the rules. That’s a new reality, and quite dangerous.
As I said, I’m willing to get things back to normal, but we shouldn’t buy into lawlessness tit for tat.
We should get done what needs to be done, and put it on the record why, and then make a very big deal out of it when we swear off of it when things are corrected.
