That should be the default position of every dem, sadly, I fear we'll get milquetoast weenies talking about coming together and putting everything behind us and the DNC will go out of their way to rig the primaries in their favor.
they didnt do it the first time, they will not do it 28. nearly all military and a lot of law enforcement simply ignored their oat to protect the constitution. the cult will protect their leaders.
Don't downvote this, they're not wrong. According to US law, you can only be convicted for treason if the person's actions directly help a nation that we are actively at war with.
And I'm fine calling it treason in day-to-day use too, but the comment I replied to specifically asked about punishment which requires the legal definition.
I think you're overestimating the amount of people that cares, and underestimate the amount of idiots that would think it's just unprovoked political attacks
I think anyone who doesn't care should sit in the corner with a thumb up their ass like they're doing right now. Anyone who thinks this is an unprovoked political attack needs to watch
Sure... sure... the USA is touting this sentiment for decades now. They're constantly using it as a excuse to own their precious guns after yet another school shooting.
There is a fascist leader RIGHT NOW in the WH who is breaking laws on a daily basis without repercussions, who is having his NAZI gestapo roam the streets abducting and harassing people who oppose him. Even KILLING them in broad daylight... And NOTHING happens.
The difference now is that this isn't a message coming from the NRA bootlickers. It's coming from more and more of the general public. When we on the left march we get jeers, but when the normies start joining in, the regime starts getting nervous.

Yep. Any Democrat who puts forward a demagafication platform gets my vote. That's #1 on my list. We MUST punish the wrongdoers or else they'll just come back. Everyone, top to bottom. Fire every member of ICE, remove from office any appointees or hires during the Trump administration and then charge crimes against all the criminals - the DOGE criminals who illegally accessed information, the executive branch criminals taking bribes, the law enforcement criminals who ignore the law, SCOTUS
Secure communications among all government officials before they have a chance to destroy evidence of their crimes. Look at how the Secret Service "accidentally" wiped all the phones of agents around Trump on Jan. 6th.
I mean, the Roman Republic fell with Caesar. Then the Roman Empire ruled for centuries. But at this point, if any Republicans do decide to take a stab at it I wouldn't even be mad
If the GQP grew a conscience, they could impeach him right now... Any Dems who vote against it gets the "Not re-elected" trophy... Americans needs to be done with anyone who do compromises with the GQP until they go back to just being "normal" Republicans.
I mean youre correct about the not re-elected trophy- but not because of facist capitulation. Facism is here and I am fully confident the regime will do anything they are capable of- read anything disregarding legality. If he cant convince the polls to not run through paramilitary action, military action, raids and what not he will just disappear the candidates that he opposes. The only elections that will be left were decided in a closed boxl surrounded by the bodies that worked for democracy
The secret service member who does the needful will get a statue and a park in their honour. Their name will be on the lips of free men until the turning of the age.
Nah. Strip his name from every record, his face from every photo. Burn him out of history and leave only a black mark. No recognition, no legacy at all. Infamy will only vindicate him to some. Better that we recount him only in how we acknowledge his victims and repay the world for our negligence.
Fuck that. He gets remembered in infamy and shame, and as a warning not to repeat. Forget all this entirely, and it'll happen again for sure within a few generations. We don't have long life spans, or memories, us humans, and learning from history is important. Hopefully by the time he finally croaks, it won't be too late to write down a true account.
We remember Hitler and the Nazis and have a whole museum in DC and people STILL idolize them and question that history. Warnings don’t mean anything to the kind of people who would copy this and to forget him entirely would be the biggest ‘Fuck you’ we could bestow on such a fragile narcissist. And we should absolutely remember the vile deeds and keep a record of the evil done. Just expunge details about him personally, no name, no face, just a gender-neutral bathroom.
I worry now that Trump is not sailing this ship, he's just the figurehead. There may be something even worse pulling the strings, and the true monsters may still be in the shadows.
I hope not, but remember that a lot of things needed to be broken and disassembled to open this path for him. A single, true, moral, legal decision by the people who are specifically supposed to stop this kind of thing would have stopped him long ago.
I suspect you're right, but I don't think any of said monsters have the political capital to keep that ship afloat. like when he goes it'll still be a few years of Republicans running the show but there will be so much infighting to fill that power vacuum they (hopefully) won't be able to get anything done.
Me too. I mean I don't understand what secret sauce Trump has that makes his base bend over backwards in adoration even as he goes back on everything they claimed to like about him, but I do know whatever it is JD Vance doesn't have it.

It might go easier if we start bottom up, then by the time we got to the top they have no competent people to defend them.
StarmineRendezvous
That comes with the drawback of giving those at the top the maximum amount of time to influence the process/outcomes tho.

Yeah, doing it that way we'd need to trick Trump and those at the top into throwing them under the bus rather than circle the wagons.
