The only way to deal with Republicans is to keep them out of power.

And the only way to keep them out of power is for our Democratic leaders in the congress and the White House to do things that help people.

There is no revenge to be had on Trump or the Republican party. There will be no investigations or prosecutions or guilty verdicts or jail time. Get those fantasies out of your head.

Now is the time to get organized for every future election to come.

Doubtful about jail time

The next few weeks will be interesting. Now that this is over, there’s the GA investigation, and several sealed indictments being held by James, the NY AG

10. Don't rule out prosecution. It is part of a well-functioning government.

If someone does something illegal and egregious, it should be prosecuted. Letting people skate free sets bad precedent.

I could easily see some prosecutions happening at a state level, however.
