    While I agree, I think trump will whip his sycophants into a lather if he loses, regardless of how close, and more people will get hurt and killed. They need deprogramming, like a Nazi in 1946. Or if they choose to act on their fuhrers orders, hanged for treason. The time to be soft on this shit is over, leniency will bring more January 6th’s

      Nazis lived on until they died, believing that the Holocaust was a myth.

      That’s why we built the Holocaust museum and other WW2 museums. To make sure that as the Nazis died off decades or a century later, that our message would outlast them.

      There’s no “deprogramming” here. This is going to be a lifelong obligation for us to fight against bad ideas.

      The risk isn’t another Jan-6. The risk is from his cronies positioned as election officials in the coming election.

      Imagine a few counties in various states that refuse to certify the vote counts because of supposed irregularities. Imagine the miriad lawsuits that will be files by Trump’s sycophants on Nov. 3rd. They will tie up the elections in as many states as they can with the goal of having SCOTUS step in and declare Trump the winner.

      The chaos and violence this time will not be in DC. It’ll be everywhere else.

        This - well, it’s probably both, but the “legal vote stealers” will be gunning for anyone they can get away with steamrolling. Crooked judges or weak Democratic responses will mean we lose legitimate vote counts to theft.

        That will be very bad, for all the reasons, and again - that is their plan.

      You really think the spineless Democrats will actually hold them fully accountable, much less “hang” anyone? Five stars for the thought though.

        Why only Democrats? I think there are plenty of more reasonable Republicans letting trumpism run roughshod over their party, so they tow the party line like a good little bitch.
