Republicans feel that this kind of horseshit is “okay” because many, many, MANY of them truly believe themselves and the party itself to be instruments of god - And, therefore, the annoying and inconvenient laws of the “corrupt” and the “sinners” who oppose the GOP do not apply to them. Only the laws with which THEY agree (and even then, when it is convenient to do so) are “valid”.
Kill them all, I say.
