So the Republicans want to heal the nation without restitution...

[LakeVermilion]

They want us to forget and forgive without performing anything to make our nation heal.

The burden is on them. They are the ones that need to restitute to the Capitol, to Congress and to the American people.

I hear nothing from them to join us as a society. Let them stay in the wilderness. Impeach Trump. Cast him out!

1. It seems like they're waiting to see which way the polling views swing on this

We all know they prefer to be re-elected than do what's right for the country.

2. 5 people are dead. Our capitol was seized, so no. No. No. No.

[Renew Deal]

3. The first step is every single one of them standing up and saying Biden won fairly.

And that there was no "theft" or fraud. Until then, healing cannot begin.

4. They can start by ejecting the members of Congress who objected to counting their state's

electoral votes. "Sedition" has a nice ring to it.

We don't owe them anything. They were the ones who tried to destroy democracy.

5. Here's an invitation:

'There is a place set for you at our table, if you will choose to join us.' – this is what the ecotopians said to the soldiers who were trying to destroy them in The Fifth Sacred Thing (by Starhawk). They didn't back down or try to compromise, they just invited their oppressors to join them.

Please save the flames; I'm not saying we should all hold hands with them and forget. It's just an interesting scenario to think about.

6. "Now that we've smashed your windows and tried to burn down your house, we want to offer

you this chance to let bygones be bygones, because we are afraid there may be further violence"
