Can we maybe stop using the expression "LOCK THEM UP"...

93. No, for several reasons.

1. Trump and all the traitors in his campaign/administrationshould be locked up. Not pardoned, not put on probation, not put in some country club minimum security institution. They should behind thick bars with peeling paint and concrete floors. Locked. Up.

2. I want Trump voters smacked in their faces with their own words. I want them to realize, deep down, just how badly they messed up, and I want them constantly reminded with their own words. "Lock him up." "Is this how you MAGA?" "F**k your wall." If we don't, then it will be 4 years down the line and we'll hear about how Trump was a "Democrat plot" and how all the decent Trump people voted against him. They need to hear their own words hit them over and over and over so that denial is not an option.

3. Regarding "lockstep" - individualism is to be valued, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with party unity in the face of what we oppose. We don't have to be a herd of damn cats all the damn time. And not every chant - not even every purely emotional chant - is automatically equivalent to "Seig heil", and only a demagogue or a fucking idiot would claim that equivalence. Or do you think that "No more war!" - a purely emotional chant - is a Nazi chant? The term "Godwin's Law" is as terribly overused as Nazi analogies, but it applies here.

4. I'm guessing you completely missed the irony of telling us what we shouldn't say whilst claiming to combat lockstep. "Don't be in lockstep! But follow these rules for dialogue!"
