The faith of some people on the Right that the Left will see reason and back down from insane double standards if we just graciously allow a few Democrats to skate on speech code violations is astonishing. When has the modern Left EVER reciprocated such indulgences?
Can anyone point to a single instance where the Left said: "You know what, you're right! We were silly to make guilty-until-proven-innocent-and-maybe-not-even-then the new standard! It was about to come back and bite us in the ass - but thanks, conservatives, for letting us go!"
"You know what? The next time some Republican gets in trouble, we're going to remember how you conservatives gave Democrats a pass. We've really learned the lesson you kindly, gently taught us. We will rise to your noble example!"
Furthermore, is there any evidence the general public is inspired by these examples of conservative mercy and understanding to turn against the insane standards of political correctness?
The conservative chump strategy might be justifiable if the bitter hard Left went right back to punching them below the belt, but the great mass of non-ideological people was inspired by gallant gestures to turn against the Left's power plays and reject political correctness.
It sounds like it might work in theory, but I see no evidence whatsoever that it works in practice, in part because the media skews so strongly to the Left. They will not allow the public to conclude political correctness is a crooked game because conservatives refuse to play.
But I guess a certain wing of the Right is determined to forget all about Kavanaugh, let the Virginia Democrats slide... and then act gobsmacked when the Left utterly savages whoever Trump nominates to replace Ginsburg, without a hint of remorse, restraint, or mercy. /end
