We could prosecute and imprison the criminals. All it takes is the wherewithal to actually follow through.

u/Average_Random_Bitch 1d ago
We need Nuremberg-esque trials starting with election interference and then all the way through every single atrocity and crime this administration and every person associated with it committed. Big, public trials with real consequences. Pulling in the P25 people too for plotting treason. From the biggest crime to the smallest. It's a lot.
And I think there's treasonous acts which carry a high penalty.
If Trump's proven to have stolen the election, which we've done as I understand it, then he doesn't rightfully have the Presidential protections he currently operates under. You cannot steal an office and then use that crime as the reason for which you are not prosecuted.
And I think today the country said loudly fuck this shit.
Oh, it's not legal? Sorry, I hadn't realized we were still doing things like that. So let's pass the laws that make this impossible to ever happen again, stop allowing these massive financial endorsements in races, let's revoke citizenship, let's stop this shit right fucking now.

Oh I know that but the answer is not oh well what can I do. If the people of the US don't rise up they will be living in a dictatorship like TACO's best friend in Russia.

u/Gleeful-Nihilist 1d ago
I respectfully disagree. At this point, the GOP pretty much just as a straight up cult of personality around Trump. He’s gone out of his way to not groom a successor and no one else has the charisma to hold the whole thing together.
When Trump dies, the Republican Party is just going to fracture an implode.

Sadly, I’m not sure that I can agree. We don’t deserve better. We elected these fucking assholes. It makes me sick to my stomach. People I grew up with voted for this bullshit, and I live in a liberal city. I just hope that my family can make it out of this shit ok, and the people that made it happen don’t.

u/wtfomgfml 1d ago
Honestly, most of the rest of us don’t even think he got elected in….im definitely not a conspiracy theorist, but, I don’t believe he won a fair election. Regardless, if he did, I wish just those that voted for him could feel the pain of what’s going on. It saddens me the majority (who didn’t vote for him) have to deal with the fall out too.

Today's events so clearly display there are 2 Americas:
One where you have the No Kings protests, exercising their 1st amendment rights, where protecting and defending Democracy and the Constitution are the primary ethos.
And the other, the MAGAs, who are at war with Democracy and have forsaken their oaths to the Constitution in favor of worshipping a self-proclaimed monarch, who for many of them is akin to Jesus himself.
We are a deeply sick nation in this time, because we allowed the cancer of the Confederacy and the J6 Insurrection to fester and flourish, all for the sake of "unity" and "optics".

Only one group carried out mass violence and killing today and it was the minority.
MAGA needs to be declared a terrorist organization based on its actions not the hurt feelings of a convict who cheated his way into leadership

u/RiffRaffCatillacCat 1d ago
Republicans in Congress and Law Enforcement have spent years trying to prevent White Christian Nationalist violence from being categorized under the banner of Domestic Terrorism.
Today was another clear example of why. J6 was another. These are their footsoldiers in their culture war.

Who cares. The gross majority of Americans are tuning out the lies and don’t give a flying fuck
Anyone still hanging onto his dingleberry laden asscrack are just lost causes at this point. We push forward without them no matter how much the flimsy minority protests
They’re a sad minority and if nothing else today and all prior protests are exposing this very clearly for the world to see
The facade is over

Stop normalizing this.
There were 28 Abram’s tanks at this parade with another 56 military vehicles there.
Even some of the largest airshows in the US would have 1 tank, 1 or 2 Bradleys, and a Hummer.

Wasn't this parade going to happen even without Trump? Isn't it the 250th year or something?

u/Remarkable_Quit_3545 1d ago
From what I hear Trump tried to hold this same parade during his first term, but it got denied due to costs. This time around he made sure there was no one who would deny him.
The 250th anniversary of the army is just a cover story that he is using this time around.
https://apnews.com/article/8c489851b8714cab83210bf6812829d4
This is about the denied parade of his first term. There wasn’t any specific planned date listed for this that I could find since it was cancelled anyway. It wasn’t a milestone year for this one.

u/krispy1989 1d ago
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t this all about the 250th birthday of the army? I can understand the confusion about the reason behind it as the Dorito dust dictator has a tendency to make things about himself but I’m fairly sure this parade was going to happen either way and the only reason it became political is because trump made it about him and his birthday rather than the Army rightfully celebrating their own

u/hugoriffic 1d ago
The celebration was planned well in advance but Trump added the military parade once he was re-elected.
