I think your fears are based on a past when no-ball Republicans peed their pants at the prospect of a Democrat or the Media calling them a Draconian Tyrant.
WE REAL AMERICANS have shown them that we don’t give a damn about Democrats OR the Media, frankly.
We have a NEW Media - it’s called Trump Tweet, and we have a cadre of no-ball Republicans that have virtually to a man now fallen in behind the program, save the two biggest losers ever to walk this planet: McCain and Graham.
What America (and recalcitrant Republicans) is learning by Trump’s example is that Democrat and Media bleats are just that - bleats with no meaning. We’re still gonna shear their asses anyway and like it.
I really hope you’re right. It’s been monumentally frustrating watching this over the years.
