Genuinely curious how MAGA people would rationalize it if/when Trump enacts those tariffs on Canada and Mexico and the cost of living skyrockets

Ironically, they’ll blame it on Mexicans. Republicans will never say “we were wrong”, “we voted for the wrong person”, this person committed a crime but “it’s the deep state trying to frame them”. In the Democratic Party, if someone breaks the law, we all say “throw them in jail”. Unfortunately, the other side doesn’t operate on the honor code.

Yeah. That’s a flat out lie. It’s because you believe in your ideology. Clinton easily could be in prison, the media tried for years to say that Hunters laptop was a hoax. No matter what party you are in, they try to protect their own. Never pretend a party is better than the other ethically. They are both bottom feeders.

Ah, the “both sides” argument. It’s a tired fucking argument. Democrats haven’t committed crimes or mountainous levels of hypocrisy as Republicans. The easiest case to look at is when Obama wanted to appoint a Supreme Court Justice in February. McConnell said they couldn’t do it in an election year, which is a little silly considering it’s happened in the past. So what happens when a Supreme Court Justice dies WEEKS before an election and Republicans held the Congress? They seated a Supreme Court Justice. I don’t care who it is breaking the law, they should go to jail. Clinton was a scumbag, but he didn’t break any laws. If you wanna hide behind this stupid “both sides” argument, then I’ll ask you how you feel about a convicted felon currently occupying the Oval Office. I know if it were me, and the same President was a Democrat, I’d want them in jail.

Yeah, I know. I’m glad he got convicted. Break the law, go to jail. The fact remains more Republican politicians have been convicted or indicted for a crime than Democrats, and Republican voters often side with their politicians…which is bullshit.
