Good. Let them cry. Do unto others as they do unto you, or as I like to say, a tactic used is a usable tactic, should be the foundational state level Republican mantra from this point forward.
I know the national Republican party will never do this, they are hopelessly corrupt uni-Party hacks, but the state level party organizations seem to be able to learn and adapt to conditions on the ground, at least.
It really means "don't start none, won't be none.". If you don't want eye gouging to be on the menu, it behooves you to not initiate. There is nothing wrong, morally or ethically, about beating them with their own stick.
The "whole world blind" cope has rubbed me the wrong way since childhood. It presumes that the only course of action is everyone committing crimes worth corporal punishment, since you only lose an eye if you take an eye.
The obvious, clearly superior, course of action is to keep your hands to yourself.

You described eye for an eye. Did you mean golden rule?
Definitely not. We've been doing Golden Rule, and losing miserably for 70 years.
You misunderstand the meaning of eye for an eye.
It really means "don't start none, won't be none.". If you don't want eye gouging to be on the menu, it behooves you to not initiate. There is nothing wrong, morally or ethically, about beating them with their own stick.
Striking a noble pose in defeat, is still defeat.
