    I’m not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it.

    History offers no control groups; there is no “right” way to proceed. What’s certain is that “nothing” is not the answer.

      Maybe we should double down on capitalism again.

      It’s the only move the US has used in living memory.

            Prosecution is one possibility. Getting gunned down is another. Getting sent to Gitmo is another. Having your family retaliated against is another.

            They won’t have to prosecute you if they just arrest you for being ‘violent’ or ‘terrorists’ and ship you off to El Salvador.

            I assure you the last thing to be dismantled will be methods of enforcement on the populace.

        I’m not even joking but if this doesn’t happen there’s no hope for the future. we’re past the point of simply prosecuting and hoping they get some time in prison. examples need to be made so others know that just because the supreme court said it’s legal to do whatever the fuck you want doesn’t mean you’re getting away with it from the public.

          I used to say “You know Monopoly is an old game, because it has rich people in prison”. The moment we stopped to hold them accountable, everything went really bad. And if the legal systems don’t hold them accountable, it’ll be the duty of the common people.
