No double standards could exist without GOP approval

This blog could go on autopilot.  The reason is that nothing changes.  This post shows why.  The next election is coming up, and everybody is saying the same things.

Nobody learns.  The same patterns occur over and again.  The same causes, the same effects.  I could pull up a post like this every day, and it would be just like it was before.  No need to write anything new.

The GOP lost control of the House.  The POTUS, and the Senate is next.  It is almost preordained.  The same games get played over and again.

However, there is nothing written in stone that this has to be so.  But it may as well be.

The Democrats create fictions, the GOP types feel as though they are obligated to play this game of proving that the fictions are fictions.  If the GOP types succeed in proving the fiction, it doesn't change a thing.  It is on to the next fiction.  Such is the case now.  The Russian collusion fiction has been proven a fiction, now the GOP types feel the need to get sucked into the game of proving the obstruction fiction is false.

It should matter that there be consequences for creating the fiction in the first place.  Something makes me suspicious that there won't be.  In eighteen months, this post could be updated, and the same thing could be happening as today.

Nothing has changed.

You hear about this lament that the GOP and the Democrats are judged by different standards.

It is only true because the GOP allows it.  It is a perfect excuse for failure.  It allows the blame to be shifted upon that over which there is no control.

However, there is some control over how you are treated.  If you allow this kind of treatment, it is only because you tolerate it.  Nobody has to tolerate being treated second class.

The left wont tolerate even the slightest things.  They even invent reasons to be offended.  But let the GOP be accused of anything, it is taken as given that they have to prove that it isn't so.

This doesn't have to be the case.  But evidently, the GOP seems to want it that way.

The GOP needs to fight in order to maintain morale.  When they don't fight, it depresses enthusiasm.  Perhaps that won't happen in this cycle, but it could.  If enthusiasm falls off, then turnout will fall off.

The Dems invented this Russian conspiracy in order to stir up their people.  Chances are, a lot of them will go to the polls because of the manufactured rage.

The GOP cannot afford to fall asleep this time.
