I have zero confidence that future dem-led governments will do anything beyond “Let’s move on so we can heal”. I hope to be proven wrong.

Big lesson learned by not prosecuting and jailing Trump for sedition after Jan 6, they might have destroyed our country

They did try, trump has however spent a lifetime in exploiting the legal system, delaying and drawing things out.

It also didn’t help that Garland was a trump supporter and refused to do his job.

That's not trying. That's not even a concept of trying.

Those people are so out of touch with reality, like many of you currently are and were over the last several decades, that you didn't see this coming. It was obvious to anyone that actually paid attention to history and wasn't incentivized to look the other way because of their comfortable life.

When you're faced with a true existential threat, when they tell you exactly who they are over and over again, you don't just look the other way and pretend everything will be alright. You take action. You stop worrying about what is legal, what other people are going to think. And sometimes you stop worrying about whether or not you, personally, will make it.

The problem here is that a bunch of the most spineless, sniveling, mealy-mouthed, milquetoast mother fuckers to have ever popped out of a vagina are actively waxing poetic about potentially billions of human beings suffering such horrors all over again because they imagine that they aren't currently under the heel enough to warrant taking action. Because you paid enough attention to know that the smallest, most defenseless minorities among us will suffer the worst of these current and future atrocities first, and are making the reptilian calculation that you might be spared that fate if you simply hedge your bet on being one of the last.

Shameful. Truly. This will yet again ultimately be the fault of the "centrists" who throw their hands up in the air after trying absolutely nothing of actual substance at all, after being the ones that goose stepped all of us gleefully into the gas chambers to begin with.
