10. My thoughts

Should they be more tough and hard-ass toward them? Hell yes.

Are they deserving of any respect at this time. No and never back down.

They lie, they cheat, they slander, they kill. They attempt to destroy our democracy. True statement.

How much respect do they deserve? None and there will be none from me even if they come around.

Have Democrats been too nice to these people? To say the least.

Or do you believe that would make us no better than them? Turn about is fair play but the Dems need to be relentless at it or they will suffer for it.

Even though we are fighting for the exact opposite? The RWNJs are true fascists. They need to be put in their place or we will be put in ours.
