I can think of only one thing that will change these MAGA Republicans.

Accountability. Justice. Truth as the verdict in a jury.

They will threaten and whine and wave their weapons about, but in the end, they do not want to go to jail.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury" are the words they most fear at this time.

And they are the words that will heal this country.

Accountability, truth and justice won't *change* them, just make them go away. They'll be their same shitty selves in prison.

But the followers, the weak-minded, will not want to follow them to jail, in my opinion.

Accountability, humiliation, justice, and defeat may convince them to go underground and be quieter, but none of this will change their minds.

If Jesus himself showed up preaching help the poor, magats would string him up. If trump said I was wrong, we are all god's children and we should love everyone as we love ourselves, the magats might not string him up, but they would move on to the next biggest hater.

There's no convincing people who are already convinced they are right beyond proof.

"Accountability" to us is just another injustice to them, another reason to pick up their gunz and go "librul-hunting."

Nothing will change their minds, except dying, and killing them is illegal......
