mean the Jan 6 insurrection will not be burried. The people he is turning on would have had plans beyond bear spray. These trials will go on for years. Worst thing to be done would be to sweep it under the rug. Justice will make it realer for those 50% of republicans who think it wasn't violent, or that it was antifa. It is a tragedy and i said that at the start. Trump will camp out at Mar a Lago and many of his base will be in prison. The fact that america was attacked in an antidemocratic way by many on the right needs to be deep in the psychi. Otherwise people will forget. They do forget. Every school shooting is forgotten after a time until the next one. Point is we are going to see justice. And reality. And that is what the world wants to see in the USA these days.

They're all equally scummy, and deserving of a horrible 20 to life, and nation wide publication of their identities.

I am not forgiving on this at all. I actually want executions, but I don't make that call.

Exceedingly unpleasant. They will eventually be known to be supremacists, etc. I predict lots of pain for them.
