this showcases, once again, the utter failure of the "move on and heal" model of governing these people will try to do this again and again until they succeed, and the only way to stop them is to throw them in jail and bar them from holding power at any level

Not only should every person who can be identified from photos of the sack of the capitol be prosecuted for the attempted violent overthrow of the government, we should also go back and prosecute everyone involved in the bush torture regime. Starting with the lawyers who were then given black robes.

Even if the Dems hit the trifecta, I don't know if they have the stomach for the fight. A full MAGA enema of all 3 branches of government is only the 1st step, and that's never going to happen.

50 days of freedom left enjoy America while you can. Remember "It will be a peaceful transition of power unless the left decides to fight back"....

"No justice, no peace" isn't a threat or a demand, it's simple fact

This has been the problem since the end of the civil war. No punishment and the lets bygones be bygones hasn't worked.

Well ... some folks did get punished. Lawyers, politicians, and functionaries got charged, convicted, disbarred, careers ended, and so on, a long list actually. It's not exactly the same people all over again. It's a mindset that carried over.

If only there were any historical analogues we could learned from. Shame we are in unprecedented times.

Fortunately for them they installed people at the highest court who decided the part of the law that explicitly says we should do that actually means the exact opposite, it's completely illegal to stop them

We could send them all free pagers that promise to let them read instructions directly from Trump on vote certification day. The Proud Boys and Roger Stone would all get walkie talkies so they could lead the rebellion. Have we tried that?
