Why are so many people using rethuglican-style hyperbole with trump?

When the rethugs started howling impeachment for obama, and hillary, were she to win, before either of them had taken office, we laughed at them, rightly so. They hadn't even taken office yet, how could they be impeached for committing a crime in office?

Now we've got people crying for impeacent before chump has even taken office.

When rethugs declared obamacare would be a disaster and lead to death panels, and gleefully typed how they would revel in seeing liberals die because of something they supported, we said how terrible and small it was of them to wish ill fortune, evem death, upon someone just for voting differently.

Now you've got posters saying how gleeful they'd be to see rethugs suffer, even die, under trump policy enactments.

This is the first election i've seen DUers literally doing the exact same thing they ridiculed rethugs for in the past.

We should not become what we hate.

On top of the worst doomsday hyperbole i've seen in years, shit is laughable in a sad way at times.

If people start promoting triangulation:the sequel in response to this election loss, i'm gonna scream...
