Legal consequences hurt authoritarian movements, hence the reluctance to impose them.
Cool, how 'bout some more legal consequences?
- Or, you know, the actual legal consequences defined by the law instead of slaps on the wrist for trying to overthrow the government.
As an abolitionist, I look forward to ponderous think pieces about the horrors of the prison industrial complex starting to appear in right-wing publications.
They're only consequences until Trump gets back in and pardons them all.
- Or we keep the orange skid mark dude from being elected again
  
  Aka - Prosicute criminals.
- His ilk has been BODIED in every election against the softest most mild candidates. He's got no shot bro.
  
  The hype for him has really died off and most of the sorta Trumpers moved away. He's done and the Republicans are too. They will rebrand the next few elections and try to find a new strategy to continue. Lindsey Graham knew what he was talking about when he said his infamous quote
  
  He's currently the leading R candidate. Barring a miracle, he'll get nominated. Any sort of complacency by the electorate will lead to him getting in again.
  
  Polls say he's neck and neck with Biden right now. I didn't think he had a shot in 16, then he won. It's way too early to call this. Fight until the last minute.
  
  The very same Lindsey Graham that was flat on his flaccid yellow belly, licking as much maga boot as he could fit into his purty little mouth?
  
  What's the infamous quote?
Just a reminder that the "rise" of the proud boys could not have happened as it did if it wasn't for Joe Rogan constantly defending/promoting Gavin McInnes (FOUNDER of the proud boys) & his terrorist gang (which he knew was a terrorist gang while defending it).

(& then Daniel Ek paid Rogan 200 million to do this & promote anti-vax shit on Spotify exlusively).
- Anyone who denies knowing where McInness stands is a liar.
  
  ''I love being white and I think it's something to be very proud of,'' he said. ''I don't want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life.''
  
  Gavin McInnes, proud boys founder, 2003
Scum needs to be cleaned and washed down the drain.
"First they came for the Proud Boys, and I did not speak out, because fuck 'em."
I wonder... Is there an commentary increase in the population of white supremacists in US prisons?
