We need to handle this carefully. I feel martyr vibes coming from all of this bullshit if he is found guilty. Maybe it's the part of the US I live in, and the political slant of the people therein, but I see him and his supporters using this to do something even more epically stupid than trying to invade the capital.
On the other hand, if we're afraid to prosecute insurrection leaders because of fear of resulting violence, that's kinda definitionally terrorism (and specifically losing to the terrorists).
I'm not American, but I've been imagining a world where magas would take over Washington with guns.
I don't want it to happen, but I see it happening. Republicans are anti government.
It would be quite entertaining, though. Not great, but still entertaining.
Honestly good.
The dipshits of the republican party are already committing acts of terror in the name of protecting insert fake concern here
Like I don't know why we're treating them like a volcano about to blow, it's been blowing for years now.
I agree, but I don't know what could be done differently? If people refuse to acknowledge a single thread of evidence that Trump tried to overturn a legitimate election, what can be done to reassure them if he's put in prison for doing it? The options are give him a fair trial, and sentence him if found guilty or just ignore his crimes completely.
We been fucked lol
