Trump gave Republicans license to be themselves.
Lie to their hearts content. There would be no consequences. Just ask Rudy Giuliani or Sidney Powell. They made lying a child's game. They must have thought no one would ever hold them accountable? The entire Republican Party seems to have adopted this practice.
They could steal as much as they wanted. Just ask Steve Bannon. He could set up a charity to take money to build a wall on the Mexico border and keep the money for himself. No problem. They are just being themselves. Or take the head of the GOP in Colorado, Ryan Call. So long as he was working as part of the Trump re-election campaign, he could keep all the money he raised. Or Lauren Boebert? She could use her campaign funds to pay her rent and utility bills. After all, it was her money, she could do whatever she pleased with it.
They could ignore the laws of this country. They could just pretend they didn't exist. Why should they respond to a subpoena if it is from a Democratic official of government, such as a Congressman? Just ignore it.
Trump let them out of the closet. They could be as greedy and shitty as they desired. His one great achievement.
