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.

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.

Nothing will change their minds, except dying, and killing them is illegal......
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
