Pearson ("Hitler didn't go far enough" ) Sharp is saying: "Mass executions should be the order of the day for the tens-of-thousands radical Democrats who overturned the election, in effect staging a treasonous, radical coop against our government."

But it's not as strange as it might appear. Back in the 1960-80s, at least, the left wing (and others) called extreme conservatives "reactionaries," and the right wing (and others) called extreme progressives "radicals."
Maybe it's the same today, but something in you response tells me things have changed. (I'm an old man and therefore suffer from lexical dislocation.)

Sharps previous efforts to overthrow the 2020 election
After the election last year, Sharp engaged in such conduct as denouncing the certification of election results for Joe Biden, by alleging irregularities and spreading conspiracy theories about voting machines, as well as spreading accusations of misconduct by election workers long after the stories were already debunked. But perhaps even more concerning than his claims about the irregularities in vote counting was his repeated calls for the wholesale rejection of the democratic process itself.
On December 2, Sharp narrated an OAN segment that featured calls by far-right retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney for Trump to declare a national emergency and prevent the Electoral College delegates across the country from actually voting, which Sharp described as one of President Trumps so-called nuclear options. About two weeks later, after the Electoral College members had voted and formalized Bidens victory, Sharp defiantly stated that Monday's certification of the ballots means nothing and instead promoted various mechanisms by which Republicans could reject the election results: We are the only broadcast news network out there with the integrity to report that this election isn't over.

--lover of the (unconsidered) self.
--a snarling set of untethered genitals.
--the consequence of generations of terrible genetic matches.
--a procreant node.
--a cluster of blusters.
The answer, of course, is all of these and more. Much more
