Biden should give an executive order to lock this guy up for treason.
When people complain about that, point to the SCOTUS decision that the president can do whatever the fuck he wants without legal repercussions.
If any of the people who complain even vaguely hint at violence in reaction to this, give an order to lock them up for treason, too.
Keep this cycle going until the last grunt has understood that this type of behavior will not stand.
Once all the people willing to call for violence are locked up, use the same reasoning to disband the current SCOTUS and replace it with something that is not an embarrassment for a modern democracy, with a strong recommendation to immediately renounce the ruling that made all of that legal.
By the time the dust has settled Biden will be too old to be persecuted for any of that anyway.
I know none of this will happen, writing it out just as a happy little fantasy.
The problem (… a problem …) with this happy little fantasy is that Biden is old and timid and won’t rock the boat. We need forceful reaction and he’s just staying placidly in his lane.

So you want to counter fascism with fascism?
Counter terrorism with law…sure. SCOTUS approved!
I’m pretty sure Biden is living on borrowed time now. The only reason for him not to do whatever the hell he wants is to not affect Harris’ image.
If testing your 2A rights against the full force of the US military is what it takes to stop gun violence in America. I guess we need to find out.
Mistakingly read that as Neil Breen, was very disappointed.
I mean there’s military in the south too.
But the major thing is that while both sides will technically have nuclear weapons, only one side has the codes to launch them.
What? The south does not have their own military.
…Is this a bad time to ask what was in the top secret boxes trump had at Mar A Lago?
I think traitors to our country need to start being
hunghanged, publicly.Edit: Not like curtains.
*Hanged 🙂
Unless those traitors are e.g. a painting or curtains.
Or are well-endowed.
Both hung and hanged are OK
They are on this guy.
I didn’t know lions hung curtains. /s
TIL lol, ty.
“I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved.”
Homie was from Ohio too. Wouldn’t even half ti march halfway across the country.
Yeah him and his home town are probably ashamed of each other these days.
Yep. Ohio is full of Union troops. Although so are the other 49 states.
March to the CVS Pharmacy to quell this one.
The fact that he said this in a recorded public setting would preclude this asshole from ever obtaining a security clearance but yet here we are that this chucklefuck is a Senator.
“Thank you very much for your confession that you plan an insurrection. The Three-Letter-Agencies will contact you ASAP.”
Eh, I think I could take him pretty easily. What else you got?
Is he going to directly participate in this “Civil war”?
With his words…
Just wait for his Losartin and Lipitor to run out as society crumbles. Then fuckers like this would just keel over in this civil war they fantasize over.
If the facts don’t match my feelings, we should do a civil war!
It’ll be another January 6th where goons get thrown into federal prison for a few years, and their fellow Republicans oscillate between calling them traitors and victims.
Civil aint gonna be it.
I guarantee you a week ago this dude was crying because “Biden’s rhetoric was too crazy and led to the Trump shooting”
(Despite the fact the Trump shooter was a conservatuve)
Lemmy users decry this while almost constantly demonizing all right-wingers as soulless racist misogynists. Anytime I suggest that right wingers might be more complex than a caricature of a 1960s villain, it goes over like a lead balloon.
The rhetoric is exactly as divisive on both sides and leads directly to politicians feeling comfortable calling for a civil war. It all feeds into the frenzy.
They have yet to display any complexity other than “fuck the libs.”
Yep, their only goals in life are to destroy the planet and kill liberals.
Perhaps you would like to share some of these goals?
Lol I’m sure that will change your mind, and it won’t devolve into me saying “people that vote for the GOP aren’t a monolithic group of evil tyrants” and you saying “all right wingers are vermin that should be extinguished”, I definitely haven’t had that same conversation 10 times on lemmy
Cool, so you don’t have any.
Lol sure buddy, until I prove otherwise, 50% of voters have no goals other than to kill and destroy. Totally reasonable viewpoint to have.
Goddamn democrats and their violent rhetoric! Why cant we have reasonable, peaceful, level headed men like this?! /s
