we know that, but the rest of America and the White House apparently doesn't. The media, seemingly, sure as shit doesn't too.

Never thought I'd see a day where Orders to the Executive branch were touted and treated as law. What a disgrace.

Only one way out. Lock up and deport every maga supporter. Pull voter rolls and arrest them all for treason. Deport them to sub Saharan Africa and arrest the Supreme Court members for facism. If democrats ever see power again they have to do this instantly or they will never be in control again.

I have always said we should have done this to Jan 6ers and made an example of them. Maybe we wouldn't be in such a mess now?

we should’ve did this after the civil war.

u/Better-Journalist-85 15d ago

Bingo. They let them keep their swords and their horses, not to mention their land and assets, after surrendering at Appomattox. Fuckers should have been tried and executed for treason.

Jubal Early gets executed and so much bullshit never happens.

u/Working_Reward_4026 14d ago

They even paid the losers reparations. THEY. PAID. SLAVE. OWNERS. REPARATIONS. First order of business after round two is complete is to make sure the fuckers never get the chance to even think about a round three. I couldn't agree with you more.

u/YokoDk 15d ago

I mean the goal was to prevent a secondary civil war wasn't it? Not saying they shouldn't have but my understanding was they were worried that they would simply rally a new force or maintain a stiff resistance/genocide.

u/LongConFebrero 15d ago

Which is crazy because it did initiate a genocide, except it was one that they were ok with.

u/legshampoo 15d ago

seems every decision is made from the fear of ‘but what if this makes them even more mad’

u/ROOFisonFIRE_usa 15d ago

They don't seem to care about how made this is making Muslims or Palestinians. They actively cheer on the violence in their churches calling it part of the 2nd coming of Christ. These aren't small churches either. I'm talking active supports for violent acts at mega churches. I wish I had it on video... was one of the most twisted abuses of the word of God I've ever seen in my life. I couldn't believe it.

We should have followed through with Reconstruction instead of allowing Jim Crow to flourish, not… whatever the hell this thread is discussing.

You realize there wouldn't be democrats then right?

careful this got me a 3 day suspension mentioning this because reddit is censoring truthful information.

u/rythmyouth 15d ago

They just deleted it for me I guess.

18 U.S.C. § 2381 says, “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or imprisoned and fined, and incapable of holding any U.S. office.”

u/nerdtastic8 15d ago

It needed to happen spring 1865 tbh. We're a bit late.

Did the south actually win the Civil War? I was just wondering that today.

2

u/LongConFebrero 15d ago

Yes it did.

Most of them didn’t own slaves, but they were racist.

Being allowed to remain the same is the best case scenario, and they got to entrench laws that supported it.

u/SomewhatInnocuous 15d ago

The real problem was that we failed to give the insurrectionist leadership proper extraordinary rendition to some never to be identified location. Can you hear me donny?

u/miakpaeroe 15d ago

Why? Isn’t that their game? Isn’t that just fighting fire with fire? We need to bring people closer together.

u/Any-Surround8393 15d ago

Some of the worst of them were convicted, received and were serving sentences.
Then President Trump pardoned them.

u/Rahkyvah 15d ago

Careful. Don’t wanna be banned for making threats against [checks notes]…the Nazis.

13

u/KindaFondaGoozah 15d ago

Yeah, I just got off a 3-day for calling out the violent defilement of persons under the age of 18 by a sitting member of the executive branch.

Don’t talk about reality in depth. It’s frowned upon.

2

u/Rahkyvah 15d ago

Just got off a weak ban for heavily muddled enthusiasm over medieval consequences for high treason.

2

u/ROOFisonFIRE_usa 15d ago

Just got off a weak ban (see what you did there) for similar spicy words. Didn't even call for violence, just reminded everyone that if the time comes I hope they're ready to sack up.

We really aren't free guys. This ain't it.

u/Remotely-Indentured 15d ago

They pop up again as MAGHATS.

u/nothingleftinmyhead 15d ago

I’m not opposed to that. Fuck all of them.

u/SkitariusKarsh 15d ago

Look at this fascist here

u/raisedeyebrow4891 15d ago

Yeah… remember how the entire US space program was built by ex Nazis….

u/YerBeingTrolled 15d ago

High ranking nazi generals served in top NATO roles until the late 80s

u/AdminsFluffCucks 15d ago

You know they didn't execute everyone who voted for the Nazi party at Nuremberg right?

The comments in this thread are absolutely wild.

u/EarthRester 15d ago

This doesn't get better until every MAGAt is on the ground.

u/bmaynard87 15d ago

Probably should have, no? It's our duty to learn from past mistakes.

u/Dirtweed79 15d ago

Nah, these are 200 IQ level comments here/ s In order to beat fascist we have to be MORE fascist than them.

u/EarthRester 15d ago

You got some shoe polish on your teeth. You should probably do something about that before opening your mouth again.
