They are almost Hitler level scum.
Making money by tearing America apart.
I can't say what I truly think should be done but laws don't apply to scum with billions.
They both orchestrate and fund sedition, in one way or the other.
Something needs to be done.
Destroying DEMOCRACY can't be ignored.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebekah_Mercer
Mercer first became widely known in conservative circles in 2012 after Mitt Romney's defeat in the presidential election. She spoke to a group of wealthy conservative donors at New York's University Club about what the GOP had done wrong in canvassing and technology operations during the election cycle.[6]
Mercer helped start Reclaim New York with Steve Bannon in 2013. The organization trains citizens to watch their government closely, and uses freedom-of-information laws to force the New York government to disclose public spending.[6]
Mercer joined the board of the Heritage Foundation in 2014 as a trustee.[6]
A September 2016 Politico headline called her "the most powerful woman in GOP politics."[15] She has been more aligned with the anti-establishment part of the GOP than most other big Republican donors.[6] Newsmax Media owner Christopher Ruddy called her the "First Lady of the Alt-Right".[2]
Mercer supported Mitt Romney in 2012 and Ted Cruz for the 2016 presidential election. After Trump won the GOP nomination, she and her father switched their support to him. Mercer supported Jeff Sessions for Secretary of State over Mitt Romney.[2][7]

If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other, it is the principle of free thoughtnot free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate."

I like to think the stars are once again aligning in our favor, though. We've done it before, and they know and fear it.
