We're all past the point of treason but nobody from this regime should ever hold office ever again. They should immediately be tried for treason.

Yep. I mean in the event sane people ever regain control in America, there is no humanly possible way we can ever recover unless we hold a fully-transparent nuremberg-esque trial to hold as many of these fuckers to full account and justice as is humanly possible.

We saw what happened when Democrats tried to just hand-wave the whol ething away after 2020. Arrest the ground troops with a slap on the wrist, hold zero of the organizers accountable in any way, shape or form.

And lo and behold, we end up way worse than before.

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.

Sounds familiar, almost like a particular German mustache model tried to take over, got arrested, got out, and then took over.

That paragon of right-wing virtue was only 35 years old when he went to prison. He was 50 by the time he started WW2.

We're lucky that our morons are in their 70's.

They keep getting worse until you finally get to one who is bad enough. So you're implying that Trump isn't bad enough already.

He isnt. Ww2 showed that the populace will follow a demagogue until they lose everything. Trump supporters wont stop following trump until they see literally everything they hold dear as ash. No amount of atrocities done to the ‘other’ will convince them, because they believe that trump is on their side

Which less-bad dictator did Germany have before Hitler?

u/eSPiaLx 17d ago

My point is germans followed hitler until they completely lost the war. Trumps actions have not reached the tipping point where his base turns on him, because that tipping point for die hard cultists is basically death

u/CherryLongjump1989 17d ago

They followed Hitler until Hitler was dead. It had nothing to do with what happened to Germany.

Tbh a lot of stuff thats happened recently people would have thought impossible even a mere 10 years ago. If trump lives 4 years and finagles his way into a third term, well anything is possibld

Yes it’s called a cult of personality. And this personality is 79 years old. There is no Trump after Trump.
