The point of the insurrection was to make you nervous about trying to do anything big. Screw that.

It’s been a uniting force in the most horrible politics in America and everywhere before the whole time — to call forth mischief and violence in the name of making your neighbor fear your wrath, then making excuses afterwards — all to say that you can get away with it as the ring leader.

So — leaders in the Republican party are 95% uniting on this violence strategy — this active rabble rousing.

Yeah. Screw that.

We need to squeeze everyone we catch to find this cancer on governance and make sure it is clear you can’t be a leader of a BOWLING LEAGUE even if you play to calling for violence as a strategy.

And here’s the key — you don’t need 67 senators to pass a rule that inciting violence means instant automatic removal from congress. To expel, yes — but to make a systematic rule, no — and because of the silly way congress works, you can put it in any bill you want.

The point was to install Trump as a dictator. But Republicans are now trying to use the attempted coup to scare Democrats from doing anything of substance.
