It's time to treat the gop like terrorists

[moonshinegnomie]

The are actively working to destroy the us democracy aided by Fox News. They are at war with us. They are trying to rid the justice system to make it seem “legal”. It’s time to take the gloves off and fight back. Treat them like you would any other terrorists.

1. You watched Rachel Maddow too.

2. +1

3. That's going to be hard to do

when the top cop doesn't want to appear to be partisan.

4. Then replace him

Maybe it’s time to send in the military to do the job. And before someone says this would be the end of the us that ship has already sailed. There is no rule of law anymore. If we were in an actual democracy we would have gun control , legal pot, equal rights,good heath care that doesn’t bankrupt people and a host of other things supported by overwhelming numbers of Americans

5. Using the military as cops is what Dictators do.

I have worked in countries that have military police, believe me I stayed clear of them.

8. the gop is already acting like an authoritarian reigime

we have to fight back before its to late

10. I agree with you 100%

the Magats are complicit in the insurrection. Trump was smart using politicians, lawyers, cabinet members, to commit crimes for him, subpoenaing them takes much longer.

The FBI seized Scott Perry's phone back in August and it may be 4 or 5 more months before it gets access.

13. You're right, so, let's use extraordinary rendition. It's in the Patriot Act, ..... isn't it?

14. Nope.

Things are bad and vigilance is required, but I'm not signing on to authoritarianism in the name of democracy.

6. Preach brother

I already treat them like the lepers they are. Sorry to disparage people afflicted with leprosy, it's not fair.

7. I've thought of them as terrorists since Dubya

And have nothing to do with any of them

9. That would include...

Handcuffs and frog marches, and NOT handing them the reins of power. Sadly, the wheels of justice roll so slowly in this country they have been allowed enough time to take over positions of power and authority and are actively working to tear down our democracy.

We apparently are only able to prosecute the petty criminals, not the masterminds. This, if allowed to continue for much longer, will be our undoing.

[MichMan]

11. Every Republican in the entire country ?

Good luck with that.

[AmBlue]

16. Yes, absolutely, ANYONE...

...willing to engage in unlawful activity in pursuit of the destruction of our system of government, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. You better believe it.

Most importantly, those that have sworn an oath to uphold our laws and Constitution and would mastermind violent attacks on our Capitol, theft or subversion of elections, need to be subject to and prosecuted to the full extent of the law!!

We will not save this democracy otherwise.

[MichMan]

19. I assume you mean every single elected office holder with an R by their name

If the Republican party is designated a terrorist organization, by extension, that would make every elected official, as well as any registered voter, a terrorist.

I doubt the courts would agree, but one could always try. Might need to start building the prisons now.

12. th ag in texas has been under indictment for years

and nothing has been done.
if the courts and the "system" wont work the people must....

15. Sometimes people's descriptions of democracy

Sound a lot like dictatorship.

It makes me wonder what do they really want.

[WarGamer]

18. Thank you.

Some people nowadays sound just like freepers with a few words missing/changed.

[Sympthsical]

20. It was funny

I just saw in another thread, "I work and pay taxes so they can sit around and be lazy."

Just kind of tilted my head at that one.

I've come to believe that many people honestly do not hear themselves when they speak.

[WarGamer]

17. I'm always wary of "progressives" sounding like wanna-be authoritarians.
