Now is not the time for taking the high roads or appeals to fairness and reason. The ONLY thing the current iteration of Republicans understand and respond to is power and force. You cannot reason with them or appeal to their "better nature" (as if they had one). You can only threaten them that if they continue certain behaviors, it will hurt them.
