    Wow, that’s literally “Hang-them-from-a-gallows” treason. I wonder if anyone will even get a wrist-slap.

    If this doesn’t get hammered to hell, we’re even more fucked than we are now.

      My guy, democracy in your country was on life support when citizens United was enacted, and then Bush killed it when he stole the election from Gore. You guys have been so busy working your hands to the bone you didn’t realize you’ve been standing on the corpse of democracy for decades lol.

      And Jan 6 was literally “shoot on sight” treason, but most of those people aren’t getting more than a year or two unless they’re a high profile oath keeper or whatever. We keep treating active attempts to subvert democracy and/or overthrow the government like this and it’s going to bite us in the ass.

        The consequences don’t need to be that severe. They do need to go all the way to the top. Applying the maximum penalty is how conservative jurisprudence works, and it’s unnecessary.

          They stormed the most secure building in our country with the express purpose of stealing control of our government while openly shouting they wanted to hang the VP and members of congress, with the gallows they brought.

          If that isn’t the textbook example of seditious treason, what is? They should have the book thrown at them. To do any less is to endorse and encourage this behavior.

      Don’t worry, they’ve received the most severe of all punishments: a sternly worded letter.

      Technically, it’s not treason unless it helps a country that the US is officially at war with. It’s Sedition and Election Interference by US Legal Definition.
