This is exactly how it should be handled. Don't let the Republican party have an escape path of pushing out away from 47 when the policies turn the US economy and world standing to shit.

It is The Republicans who are doing this, all of them, not just some single psychotic politician. The GOP should never be trusted with even the power of a city commision job ever again adter this all blows up. The 33% (or whatever it is) of the possible voters who chose red should bear full responsibility for what they have approved happening. They can't just say they "couldn't have known".

I don't understand "couldn't have known"-ers, I knew, so why can't you?

Nobody is immune to propaganda, even me.

There are a ton of people that can't entertain the hypothetical. They can't understand until it impacts them personally.

It's truly "could have known but didn't bother" for that lot.
