1. These same people would last 5 minutes in a real war.

Lock them up already.

3. I am more on the side

Of give em what they want and end em all. Shoot em with the beloved guns they bow to. More Permanent than a slapped wrist jail term that will be pardoned after installing the next trump. They no longer deserve to exist in a civil society. Cut the cancer out, and eliminate the Carcinogen, ( Right/white wing propaganda media) that gave the country this cancer. Treat it as the disease that it is. Why would you treat a cancer patient for lung cancer, cut it out and then give them all the cigarettes they can inhale?
They are outright Terrorists. Treat em as such, don’t give a fuck if they are white. End them. Then we can truly make America great.

We speak with The New Yorker’s award-winning war correspondent Luke Mogelson about his new book, “The Storm Is Here: An American Crucible.” The book gives an eyewitness account of right-wing extremism and growing civic unrest in the U.S. since 2020, starting with anti-lockdown protests in Michigan and culminating in the January 6 insurrection. Mogelson, who filmed the attack on the U.S. Capitol, says many of the right-wing rioters viewed the insurrection “not as a political act but as something taking place in a more timeless, kind of cosmic spiritual framework.”
