Remember, all is fair in love and war. The critical, salient point is that these acts transcend any concept of political process ie to guide the common weal. Rather, it should be recognized these are acts of war specifically designed to undermine the republic so that the victors can claim victory and seize the prize of total rule. Period.the.end.
Within this context, everything begins to make perfect sense, and all emotional engagement becomes void. C'est la guerre: it's the war. Does anyone really believe what has transpired over the last 4 years can be walked back, and everything then goes back to "normal"? No, so prosecute the enemy action as the war it actually is. The domestic enemies certainly are, and have absolutely no compunction about pushing the nation to and over the ledge.
