I still don't understand how none of these fucks have been shot in the fucking face yet

As much as I'd love to see it, there's a lot of things you can do besides that to be grit in the gears of the machine. Why people don't just mob around them and block them from going anywhere is beyond me.

I'm hoping, when maga stops the elctions, we collectively get a spine and stand up to these monsters

This was preventable. Hopefully as progressives continue to gain traction we can see an America where facsism isn't tolerated. It will take years to undo this systemic damage.

We can undo it real fast. When this is over, start arresting the goons who pull this clearly-illegal shit. Go after anybody who took part in it. Every thug on the street, every lawyer pretwnding what they're doing is legal, every cabinet member giving the orders. All of them need to be locked up.

The while "healing as a nation" thing where the peons are absolved sounds nice, but all it's really done is embolden fascists who will place the blame on a geriatric man if they fail and walk free despite all the death and destruction they've intentionally caused.

We need to make it clear that there are consequences for this shit for everyone involved, so that the next time someone tries this shit there won't be anyone willing to risk backing them up.

Agreed, with one caveat.

Remove the "when this is over".

If we just sit on our hands to wait until "this is over" then this will NEVER BE OVER.

They're not following the law now, why do you think they'll follow laws later when we've not made them follow the current laws for so long?

Who's gonna arrest the cops right now?

We need to replace the leadership to get the bastards fired so we can bring in law enforcement officials and prosecutors who will bury these motherfuckers.

Racist losers who can’t compete in the job market or hold one down so they do government make-work

Incarcerate ICE, before they become even more reason for street justice
