Of course. All of this crying that "Democrats aren't following the rules!" is just a distraction and a side show to distract from the crimes. If Republicans allow Trump to get away with what he's done unpunished, it sets a horrible precedent for the future. Imagine Democrats holding a majority in both houses and the white house. Republicans will lose their minds over any future Democrat following Trump's precedent of soliciting aid from foreign countries to expand their power.
That is, unless Americans decide to vote Republican. Then we get a Weimar Republic moment, where the Republicans strike down the constitution and declare Trump president for life with power over legislation and no oversight. If our country's checks and balances fail, so too will the country fall as we knew it.
I hate to make doom and gloom predictions, but we have another thread where Republicans are increasingly willing to admit they want the president to be able to operate without oversight from congress and the courts.
People who simply learned about World War 2 in high school really only studied some key events, then 1942-1945. They seem to have forgotten that the rise of Nazi Germany began a couple of decades before, and growing racial tensions, along with the first world war bankrupting Germany, with increasing support for a dictator, happened very slowly over time. Adolf was even BANNED from ever holding political office at one point, but his party supported him enough to basically overturn that order. Concentration camps operated for many years before death camps were even opened. Camps that were filled to the brim with Jews, Gays, and other people considered to be "lesser". And what do we have now? Detention facilities being filled to the brim with political prisoners. We know that ICE is even luring migrants over the border solely to capture them and shove them into the "detention facilities" simply to increase the profits of the privately owned prison industry running these "detention facilities" concentration camps.
As mentioned, most high school educated people never got to study the 2-3 decades leading up to world war 2. Personal research and university classes give a much broader picture of the shift of powers in Europe during those decades leading up to WW2, and things are looking frighteningly similar here in the US.
When Trump was first elected, I noticed disturbing trends similar to the years leading up to the rise of the Third Reich. I said they were disturbingly similar, but I wasn't going to be worried that much until we had concentration camps and there was great amounts of open support for implementing Trump as president for life and giving him more power than a president should have. And well... here we are.
