@staidwinnow@mastodon.social @artesianspring@geekdom.social @jbf1755@mastodon.social I have the impression that pre-TFG, many republicans either believed or pretended that they owed some sort of explanation to the people, and had to do something for the people. Post-TFG demonstrated that they can just about do anything without consequences, since Democrats will limit themselves to talking. If much, republicans will just make up some bs and their supporters will go with it.
