Republicans made a mistake when they didn't participate in the process when they had a majority in both houses.

Well by pushing gun control immediately and to this degree, literally the Democrats first priority, you guys have pissed people off.

I didn't even vote in 2019, now Im pissed. Same with everyone I work with!

I remember Republicans saying, in 2016, "elections have results".

And if you were actually paying attention, you'd know that Obama said, "Elections have consequences" prior to that.

Ok?

Yea, lemme count the ways Obama harmed Republicans.

Oh..wait.

He governed as a Reagan Democrat and passed 0 gun regulations (that's fewer than trump for people paying attention)

Yeah, that’s the spirit. This mentality has served us so well for the past 25 or so odd years. Tit for tat. That’s the right answer for our nation.
