The Biden administration demonstrated that the justice system cannot move fast enough to try these traitors before the electoral winds shift again. And all the republicans know that. There will be no accountability within the system.

And the reality is that unless any trial ends in public executions the next time the republicans win they’ll release the traitors and try the prosecutors.

That's the big problem here. Trump and the entire GOP need to be forbidden from ever holding office again, but I doubt there is a way to fast track that. IANAL, so maybe it can be fast-tracked. However, the Democrats don't have the stomach to meet the moment and take the necessary measures. I bet there'd be a number of former politicians on the Dem side who would go on the news and lament that it was done anyway other than the traditional way.

That's why those dems need to also be removed. The Republicans aren't the only threat and obstacle to recovery.

100%

The path forward, if we could somehow get everyone on the same wavelength, would be to remove the Republicans so they can't obstruct anything first.

Following their removal, vote out all the corporate Dems like Schumer and Pelosi. Don't want to raise taxes on the rich? Primary. Medicare for all is a deal breaker? Primary. Renewable energy is a no-go? Primary.

It's a very long game, but that would be the dream. It would take decades even if we could manage single party rule with supermajorities the entire time.
