[Source.](https://amgreatness.com/2023/09/11/the-frightened-left/) > *Weaponizing impeachment is just one of many precedents that Leftists now would not wish to have applied to themselves* --------------------- > In sum, the Democratic leadership along with the media long ago deemed that Donald Trump posed such an existential threat to democracy that they were entitled to destroy democratic norms to destroy him. > Their actions were predicated on three assumptions: one, they had that right because they were more sophisticated, morally superior, and smarter than the rest of America and thus deserved the exemption to blow up customs and norms to achieve the “correct” ends; two, whatever damage they did to long-standing protocols of equal justice under the law paled in comparison to the damage that Trump supposedly would or did do; and three, their conservative opposition either lacked the wherewithal, the brains, or the audacity to emulate such behavior and thus there was no worry anyone would dare do to them what they did to others. > And now? For the first time, given recent polls, the Left is scared that a Republican House and perhaps soon a Republican Senate and White House might follow its own precedents, and use new leftwing guidelines to enact conservative agendas. I like Victor's writing and usually agree with most of what he says. In this instance however, I do not think the GOPe / Uniparty will do a damn thing if they regain control of the White House and Congress.
