It represents a turning point in the system of lawless impunity for American plutocracy.

In the words of #FrankWilhoit, it is is a repudiation of the #conservative dogma: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect":

If you want to know why there is no window between "Too soon to take action against a Republican" and "Too late to take action against a Republican" where you'll see Republicans support holding Republicans accountable, I suggest looking at the #FrankWilhoit quote again.

#FrankWilhoit's definition of "#conservativism" remains a classic:

> There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Platformism is the same as conservativism: "in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Exactly according to the #quote by #FrankWilhoit:
"#Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

#Traducción #castellano/#español:

"El conservadurismo consiste exactamente en una proposición, a saber: Debe haber endogrupos a los que la ley protege pero no obliga, junto a exogrupos a los que la ley obliga pero no protege."

Übersetzung #deutsch:

"Der Konservatismus besteht aus genau einem Lehrsatz, nämlich dem: Es muss "in-groups" geben, die das Gesetz schützt, aber nicht bindet, und "out-groups", die das Gesetz bindet, aber nicht schützt."
