On that topic, what was the punishment for insurrection during the civil war ? I am asking this as according to the panel who decided if Trump was guilty of insurrection, said this had not happened since the civil war, which could open up the possibility the law and punishment has not been looked at since. Could trump face the firing squad ?
What is more sickening appears to be the lack of media coverage.
Granted I from the UK, it may not be that important to our news outlets, but this is part of a much bigger picture that is of international importance.

While I don't have a problem with this in principle, so ethnic clothing, or menopause friendly clothing etc. Where are the boundaries?, for example if a naturist wanted to wear nothing at all, due to their lifestyle would that be permissible.
@georgetakei OMG, this is disgusting and shameful. I am sickened by their actions.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat states,
"That's the authoritarian speciality, that they create situations of crisis and polarize and spread hate ideologies and make people feel more alone and atomized alone. …
We know from Hannah Arendt, who wrote very movingly abiut how authoritarianism makes people feel so lonely, people living under it. But loneliness and alienation are also preconditions of creating an appetite for demagogues who say, 'I'm going to fix it.'"

@SrRochardBunson School in FL UNDER SANTOS.. Dems ..you can run ads on this shizza.. start NOW.. you really need to hire marketing agency..your bad at this stuff.
Being told you are over reacting probably happened in the 1920s and look what happened. Either these people support the republicans OR they have their heads buried in the sand so they don't have to accept what is going on, they will then have to deal with it in some way.
(And this is an incomplete list, obviously. Racism, anti-Semitism, cult-like conformity expected from one's political party/organization/etc., contempt for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses - hello, COVID denial -, deep distrust and hatred towards everything associated with what is considered to be "modern," i.e., "politically correct," "woke," etc. It is not subtle at all. This is fascism. And I'm tired of people telling me to overreact.
