As long as you do not allow their privileges to hinder the Justice which is due to them for their vile acts against the people. As happened the last time a person instigated an insurrection who was the voted back into power. His privileged status helped him evade justice & the consequences of his
I don’t see Americans doing very much at all, let alone TAKING anything back.
There is so much fear and cowardice, not just in the civilian population, but American veterans have shown themselves to be the most cowardly of all, refusing to uphold their oath.
Republicans do bad things and democrats don’t do enough to stop this.
Trump literally tried to overturn an election and nothing happened
Democrats are fucking useless, come back to me when they enact M4A, a plan to get to net zero, getting money out of politics, etc.
I think I’m allowed to complain when you have a democratic minority senate leader voting with republicans for their awful budget resolution
I don’t only talk about democrats sucking, republicans are fucking fascists, but we’re talking about Dems rn
Obama never went after war criminals Bush/Cheney. He never went after bankers that stole the houses and futures of 10s of millions. Biden and the democrats never put trump in shackles. Never investigated Epstein because their faves would be implicated.
What you're seeing is that crime is 100% ok.
Dems will never do that. They are the portrait of passivity & feebleness. Since there are no more 80 year old conservative white straight men like Biden there won't be another candidate they can agree on. He didn't hold any of these people accountable or try to stop the coup. Bc #duopoly
At this rate, anything less than "Against The Wall" is giving people a free pass. No one involved deserves to live a peaceful life or die a quiet death.
We never do though. Even Nuremberg wasn’t close to harsh enough, and they’re the closest we’ve come to not letting these scum off with a little smooch and a head pat. Look at Reconstruction or the post Cold War Russian wish granting bonanza
This needs to be said loud and clear, and definitively. The ICE operatives grabbing people off the streets need to know upfront that their Gestapo tactics will have the most severe consequences, as an example.
But we will simply declare that Trump was never really president (ineligible due to insurrection etc) and so the pardons don't count, or something along those lines.
Hopefully, the International Criminal Court, aka Nuremberg 2.0, won't recognize pardons given by the rabid dictator. They all need to be given the Mussolini exit from public life.
You would think some of them would want to make it easier for themselves. But yes some are very deserving. And need to be made the example for the rest to learn. Then there are some that should be removed. Without ever being able to set foot or even have a business advantage here.
Upholding the rule of law and ensuring that folks who don't face consequences is some very good things. Especially when the guilty are very bad people.
So, we need to wait on actual people to create what is in our own heads before you approve? Fuck you.
My ONLY complaint about AI art generation is that the models use stolen material. Fix that, and I am absolutely fine with it. And there are options out there that dont.
The problem since at least Nixon is that there is *no* retribution cycle. The lesson from all of recorded history that America forgot is that the would be tyrants will try again unless they're behind bars or in the dirt.
I'm pretty sure the Stancil is referring to "approved by a trial of their peers" bad things. It's not retribution to punish people for any crimes committed.
Sounds whiny to me. Which admin are you referring to? Over 1/2 the population of the US said that about the last administration. Are you in the majority or the minority on this?
Yes your feed is ludicrous. Full of comically uninformed, ignorant none sense. You need to remove “pragmatic” from your bio. You’re literally the antithesis of pragmatic.
Honestly, I hate sentiments like this. Righting the ship after a fascist government isn't "bad things." Enforcing the laws isn't "bad things." Ending elite impunity isn't "bad things." Breaking networks of fascist support isn't "bad things."
That's just well functioning democratic government.
Pretty sure OP is referring to various forms of violence. Whether it's the death penalty through the courts or extrajudicial violence is open for interpretation. Generally we regard hurting or killing as bad. But hurting and killing Nazis should be the norm. Hope this helps 👍🏻
We've been so pilled into expecting inaction from political elites that even those who ostensibly call for action are shaky at the sight of it. It feels "bad." Dangerous, authoritarian, overly-militant. Might spook the middling classes and the 'moderate' voters.
No, that's just liberalism. Democracy defends itself and the right of the People to govern themselves. People who try to steal that right go to prison. Fascists cry. That's how a well-functioning society is supposed to work. And we should talk as if that's how it's supposed to work.
The reaction in the U.S. to Le Pen's sentence has been illuminating. So much pearl clutching. God forbid the laws actually be enforced, and elites who abuse their power be punished. It'll make the fascist voters mad!
We've got to stop using language that legitimizes this paradigm. Democracy should always defend itself. Punching back against fascism is a moral act, of decency and protection of one's neighbors. Nothing edgy, or radical, or "bad" about it. We've got to normalize that.
I believe you misunderstand thr argument: Will is not saying we need to enforce the laws. Will is saying "obviously, the punishments threatened by the law failed to deter this, so we must create new, much harsher ones."
They can't get a single dissenting vote on a random appointee after the Booker useless stunt but yeah I'm sure they'll do Nuremberg trials to Republicans in 4 years.
You need a line somewhere. 2.5 billion? Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are both billionaires, just not multi-billion. But a sliding scale or a flat rate for the less than that amount?
Well we can sit here be finger point about who has denial, or we can each have a good Thursday night. I’m choosing the latter and hope you do the same. Cheers to life
Bush tortured people. His father & Reagan did Iran/Contra. Nixon did Watergate. But melting down the economy for no reason might just piss people off enough.
Ideally, but I have zero faith that there will be the kind of necessary transformation within the opposition party (i.e. Democrats) necessary to create the cultural appetite to make it the mid 1940's again for a moment.
The leftists gorged on guillotine memes have that passion, of which you appear to be getting a slice in your replies, and if they had power instead it'd be a nightmare. But they won't, so there's that.
Yeah, I doubt it. Everyone except some small Chinese owned bank in Queens got away with everything they did to cause the 2008 financial crisis. Everyone who tried to overthrow the elections if 2020 got away with it. So i doubt Dems are capable of doing much while in power.
You don't understand where this is going. We aren't talking about legal consequences. There aren't going to be Republicans or Democrats when this is over. There will be living people and dead people.

So many COWARDS!
Go get your fellow countrymen back.
Liberalism and neoliberalism isn’t going to fix this

Then immediately go back to planning their next bullshit.
we need to destroy MAGA electorally, so that the country makes clear it will never consider MAGA-like politics ever again.
When ones default setting is oppression & violence, one has no empathy or ability to be a decent human
Oppression & violence are popular, 1.2K likes
That's just well functioning democratic government.
The paradox of intolerance!
what makes you draw the line there?
I bet we could fill it up with traitors and their minions.
