    I would think the sheer fact conservatives WROTE IT DOWN AND PUT IT ONLINE would be enough to solidify their intentions to people. But, I can’t imagine voting for a criminal or a rapist, so who knows what the truly brainwashed will do.

      I’m still baffled how the creators of that site haven’t been arrested. It’s clearly conspiracy to commit treason or insurrection and they’ve taken steps to commit the crime.

        Maybe part of the outcome of this whole godawful mess will be that people will wake the fuck up and realize that they have to prosecute things like this (going all the way back to Fox News doing things that got Gabby Giffords shot).

        I don’t agree with Germany’s implementation, exactly, but Germany after the war just said no we are not fucking around if you are against democracy then you go to prison. We tried giving short sentences to the people involved and letting them out, and all it did was teach them to be more cunning, and look where it got us. So now the answer is fuck you, you wanna be the enemy well guess what, we’ll treat you like the enemy. I think the US needs way more of that energy than it has right now. I hope that we develop it before something catastrophic and unfixable goes wrong.

          , but Germany after the war just said no we are not fucking around if you are against democracy then you go to prison.

          Did they? I thought Germany just made it illegal to display and promote Nazism. They still have far-right parties, don’t they?

            Yes. Their moderates set that stage by not going far enough to limit conservatism. Moderates pretend conservatism is a legitimate political position that deserves acknowledgement instead of the hate-based ideology that it is.

            Unchecked conservatism always develops into harmful oppression of others. Always.
