Sadly that isn't what he's saying. What he's saying is worse. He's claiming that the GOP is justified in ending the filibuster because when Democrats retake congress in the future "the Democrats will exercise their rights, and it will be done in the first day they take office".
He's accusing future Democrats of the crime he wants to commit as a justification for him committing the crime today.
Conservatism believes the minorities (of any demographic) want to take revenge on them and punish them. It's so fucking telling that they KNOW they are intentionally hurting minority groups for the own [perceived] benefit. They believe minority groups want to enact their own anti-majority laws because... The majority wants to enact their anti-minority laws on minorities. Let me be clear, the majority is the largest demographic, not a 2/3 majority, not even a 51% majority. Just the largest group. 33% wants to hurt 6 other 17% groups. That's any demographic you want to measure. "Christians" vs ag/aeth/mus/jew/hindu/bud. White euro vs african/latin/asian/indian/mid east/slavic.
None of these groups want revenge. They want equality.
Every fear of minorities is a projection of their own tactics, a justification for their own acts. The party of "tough guys" lives in fear. Fear of cities, fear of skin color, fear of immigrants, fear of not having an emotional support gun, fear of other religions, fear of measured facts hurting their feelings, fear of poverty, fear of invasion, fear of other languages. So they enstill that fear into every other group they can. We have insane abilities to communicate globally, insane amounts of corporate wealth hoarding, insane greed over resources, and yet they're still playing the dark forest trope, telling you every noise in the night is out to kill you. .
With that kind of behavior it's a self fulfilling prophecy that the victims will eventually stop seeking justice and start seeking revenge.
Precrime?
