A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

    That’s my point!

    Republicans should have been the ones to do this first, their base would have loved it and it would have pissed Democrats off because it violates the precious norms. But instead they missed their chance and now Democrats are eating their lunch.

        I can imagine an alternate universe where Republicans were the ones to do this, and you know in that universe Democrats on MSNBC would be up in arms about Republicans disrespecting the norms.
