I've said it before and I'll say it again; the only way to end this is to respond in kind.

All the Left understands is power and they won't quit until they realize this hurts them worse than it hurts their opponents.

In Milton's Paradise Lost there is a terrific scene where Lucifer, having broken the lines of Michael's defending army, are storming the Primus Mobilum itself and Jesus comes out to meet them. He speaks reasonably to them, offering forgiveness and they sneer at him in disdain "Now that you are defeated you want to talk!" Jesus sadly tells them "if all you understand is power, power is what you will receive" after which His face turns into a horrifying visage and He so terrifies the rebellious angels they flee to the parapet of Heaven and jump into the abyss, landing in Hell.

Milton is giving us the roadmap for handling this sort of thing; at some point power is all they understand and power is what they must receive.

We used to call it Mutual Assured Destruction during the Cold War; nobody dared launch because they knew the consequences would be utterly terrible. That is what has been lacking in the GOP for decades, but it's the only way to stop such things. The Democrats crossed the Rubicon; they broke the rules. Now the rules should no longer apply and they are fair game too.

I personally regret this but you cannot have unilateral obeisance to the rules - that is just surrender.

We need to dig into these people and find ways to charge them with crimes. Ruin their lives as they would ruin others. It sucks it has come to this but the aggressor sets the rules of engagement and the Left is most assuredly the aggressor.
