29. I mean to use whatever force may be necessary. These are thugs and dangerous people.

They are not playing games to see what they can get away with when mommy isn't looking. The events of Jan 6th should be evidence enough that they are without conscience or mercy. Whatever it takes to stop them is the force required. I'm not advocating a lynching or public flogging, unlike our distinguished colleagues across the aisle. Their silence is damning enough.

They spent the last 4 years applauding every racially nuanced sneer and every threat and every child separated. They spoke and voted after the attack as if they were on a holy mission. They spoke with confidence and conviction. They EXPECTED the attack IMO. They are a tangible existential threat to our way of life and the security of our government.

I will not back down. I will not tolerate them. It is for them to prove they are worthy of trust. It is not for us to grant it just because they show up. Those who will not are unworthy to govern nor to represent the citizens of their districts and states.
