With the way things are going, I’m honestly not so sure they couldn’t get away with that, too, at this point.
Let’s be honest. The reason any of this is happening is because you, me, all of us are hated by a significant segment of the population. These are people for whom ‘winning’ (= forcing their will on all of us they hate) is everything and 100% justifies anything and everything they can do to win - legal or illegal, moral or immoral, honest or dishonest. They have no moral boundaries. None. They will take every opportunity presented to them to further their agenda - irrespective of who gets hurt and what happens to the nation.
