    Are you serious? They aren’t forgetting that rule, they’re taking it to insanity. Trump supporters have been called treasonous for literally years now, and the most egregious shit is mainly knee jerk turnabout already.

    No Mark Twain because n-word, k, we’ll ban whole ass libraries. Want sanctuary for immigrants and homeless, we’ll bus you thousands of them. Republicans aren’t forgetting turnabout, they’re escalating the fuck out of it.

    Trump is 100% going to be calling Biden and Biden supporters “enemy of the state” (if he isn’t already) because it’s been said of him. Every remotely sketchy thing his opposition does, he adds it to his list of sketchy shit that he can get away with, and there are others taking up the same tactic, some of whom are arguably even more trump with it than trump…

      Is “destroyer of democracy” close enough? 'Cause that happened Saturday.

        “destroyer of democracy” From the “accuse others of what you you are doing”, crowd. Republicans who are working so hard to destroy democracy. Nice. Oh, and hugging the flag that you intend to rape is a nice touch too.

      Exactly. They’re doing shit where certain responses are necessary and reasonable then screaming that turnabout is fair play as they escalate. Attempt a coup, then when your opponent tries to punish you for it swear to arrest him when you’re back in power.
