    you called Trump supporters “voters”, and i dispute that on the grounds of January 6

    it’s like people don’t want to face what happened that day

      70 million people voted for him. There were a few thousand at the capital on January 6.

        have you heard even one of those 70 millions take responsibility or apologize… you haven’t, because they don’t accept responsibility… if they won’t accept responsibility for the consequences of their vote, they don’t deserve to have one… they’re all too fucking ignorant and selfish to be citizens any more…

          While I agree with your anger and frustration, in sure you recognize how dangerous of a precedent that would be. Instead, we should be going full RICO on the entire Republican party.

          A huge chunk of the elected officials on that side of the aisle are actively working to subvert democracy in the US. Endorsing Trump in an official capacity should absolutely be seen as a participatory activity in that context and those elected officials who have engaged in that should be held to account. The justice department should be looking to use this as a sledgehammer if they want to crush the rampant fascism sweeping the Republicans and their base.
