If and when we finally escape from Trump and his ilk, we need to have a real discussion and plan for reparations for everyone he's deporting and detaining (assuming that hopefully they are still alive), and constitutional reforms to limit executive power.

There are too many white liberals quietly supporting Trump's actions, even if they'd never say it, and we can't allow the Right to become the "useful authoritarians" for Center-White America to unleash on minorities every couple decades.

You missed the part about barring his supporters from ever influencing (voting running funding supporting etc) another election by whatever means necessary.

are you suggesting barring trump voters from democracy, because no fuck that.

Yep, they’ve lost that privilege. See Reconstruction for another example of folks losing the privilege of voting for the direction of this nation.

absolutely not, nobody should ever be barred from democracy. out of the question find another policy to advocate.

fascism to retaliate against fascism is flatly fucking stupid.

participation in democracy and governance is not a privelege.

The other option is executing them for their treason.

THEY DON’T GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO FUCK UP MY LIFE.
