One thousand or so elected and appointed officials across the country enabled the attempted coup

The riot was cover to allow the subversion of the election. For the most part, I really don't care about all the Billy-Bobs that shit all over the Capitol Building. The people I want arrested and permanently banned from holding public office are the ones that violated their oaths and broke laws to reverse the results of a valid election.

Right now, these very same people are preparing to do it all over again.

Among them are 213 incumbents in elected office and 29 who are running as candidates for positions of power in upcoming elections. There are also 59 military veterans, 31 current or former law enforcement officials, and seven who sit on local school boards.

When the index goes live on Thursday, it will contain a total of 1,404 records of those who played a role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. In addition to the 1,011 individuals, it lists 393 organizations deemed to have played a part in subverting democracy.

U.S. conservative movement that took over the Republican political party a few decades back. Names like Koch, Prince, Mercer, Theil, the CEOs of the A.L.E.C. members who have been plotting against U.S. citizens individual rights, consumer protections, labor protections, education and converting our tax money to private profit.

I have seen nothing in any national media offerings about just how long in planning and how successfully carried out the anti-democratic rich have been.

Look how they convinced this nation to embrace mass incarceration for the purpose of political and economic oppression under a big well delivered and plotted lie that we are a nation of violent criminals who must be kept locked up and changed up the Criminal code with, add on charges, misdemeanors to felony upgrades, mandatory sentencing, and enhanced sentencing.
