If they destroy the post office — who is delivering ballots?
If they block press from attending events – who will report the news?
If they fire all the nonpartisan prosecutors – who will hold them accountable?
The GOP plan to win future elections is right in front of us.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
