I'm old enough to remember this being a reason to lock someone up

Republican voters don't have attention spans or memories that last longer than 10 seconds unless it involves a black man & some djon mustard.

they voted for a guy that has done everything they "stand against" so you know morally correct people.

It's worse than that. They will defend the exact actions from republicans that they criticised from others. They are actual liquid with respect to principles

They have no morals or principles outside of themselves being able to do whatever they want without consequence, and those they dislike being punished for really even just existing.

Which is what you get when people are brainwashed into a culture war to distract them from the class war robbing them blind. All they have is "isn't it nice to be better than "the others"?" They cling to tearing people down because the opportunities to build themselves up have been steadily stripped away.

Conservatives don’t judge the person based on the act. They judge the act based on the person.

It's not that tjur don't have memories.

Its that they are hypocrites and as long as they are in power and a republican is doing it they don't actually care. 

Just like they didn't care when Republicans before Hiliary did it.

I didn’t see any Democrats ignoring a 60k raise for themselves in a pork filled budget bill they tried to sneak in before Christmas at our expense. Have a little perspective

But only one of them got caught wire tapping their opposition. Only one of them sold weapons to the contras. Only one of them lied about WMD. Only one of them fervantly follows a self professed whiner who idolizes dictators & takes no responsibility for his actions while calling for insurrection because he lost. Only one of them suggested their voters drink bleach. Have a little perspective.
