    Republican Logic (or lack there of)

    Impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors? “No. That should be left to the people”

    Impeachment for treason? “No. That should be left to the people”

    Legal repercussions for blatant lawlessness? “No. That should be left to the people”

    Losing election because you are a threat to the society? “Lol. That should NOT be left to the people. Find me 11,800 votes right now”

      “It should be left to OUR people to decide.”

      That’s what they mean. They know the people that vote for them will largely vote for a fucking Ham Sandwich if it has an R next to its name. So they know that they’ll almost certainly never face consequences for anything so long as it’s up to the people that vote for them. They can purge voter rolls, strategically close polling places, attack mail in voting. There tons of things they can do which will impact potential Democratic voters more than Republican voters.
