Or -- hear me out now, I know this is ludicrous -- maybe Democrats *should* be sure that they hold members off the Trump administration responsible for any criminal acts committed on the job.
This is something @julianzelizer and I have argued before:
I know there’s a lot of horrible things going on and there’s much more important stuff to worry about and the NFL season is surely doomed, but I still feel the need to announce the return of YOUR REIGNING SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS, THE KANSAS CITY GODDAMN CHIEFS!!!!
As I've noted repeatedly on here, the first wave of Southern Republicans in the 1950s and 1960s largely showed the same support of segregation as Southern Democrats.
Texas Republicans in the 1950s and 1960s fit that pattern well.
For instance, when the Brown ruling was handed down in 1954, the Texas GOP nominee for governor attacked the Court and promised he would preserve segregation if elected.
He went so far as to criticize Texas Democrats for failing to take a "positive stand for segregation."
