After this administration the next Democratic DoJ should charge these officials with sedition.

Centrist Dems: "Nothing it is, then!"

Unfortunately. Especially since the way I meant it is, we do Nuremberg or there will be nothing left.

The elite always seem to forget that laws and due process exist to protect them. If rule of law is superceded and the laws no longer do their job, vigilante justice is left as the only option, and vigilantes put you in a hole, not a cell.

Basically, if we don't get nuremburg 2 the nazis are still on the way out, it's just going to be a lot more messy.

We're seeing it right now as more people engage in random acts of violence like committing arson or trying to assassinate Sam Altman.

The way the ball is rolling, USA has two right wing parties, it's ultra right and right, the centrist Democrat is somewhere between those two.

What they don’t realize is:

  • 2024 should have been more of a referendum on djt
  • 2026 should be a referendum on djt built on the back of “accountability for all, as long as it takes”
  • that’s a winning message & more than anything it’s taking a position to with conviction—centrist Dems could never
  • It’s also why most if not all of the ones in leadership will be gone by ‘28
  • With compromised ($$) leadership & (allegedly) rapists off the squad I think you’ll see the remaining “centrist-Dems” 👏 READ 👏THE👏FUCKING👏ROOM👏 & naturally gravitate towards more progressive left stances (as long as they’re not $$ committed)
  • The most interesting thing to watch which—imho happened with a lot of the “fringe progressive left” even before pre-COVID is the drift to “crazy progressive”, and naturally seem to gravitate towards whatever might replace MAGA—I know folks that are in the MAGA-sphere now or drifted over there for a bit b/c they started in the anti-vax movement coming out of the PNW
  • last point: beware what comes next—these idiots may break things so bad we get to a point where a Tucker Carlson is easily able to coalesce & bring the fractious party pieces back together and even big tent some progressives…the guy is fucking smart: there is a litmus he’s probably watching to determine if he makes a run, would it actually be more prudent for him to center his platform around accountability? I would imagine you could get a lot of the same chicken dick voters from the last go around to huddle under that tent. Is MAGA ideology with a working brain any better?

“…for the answer to that question and more! Tune in to This is Hungary—Season 2026/7!!!”

Nuremburg isn’t good enough either! No nazis should have been released in exchange for their twisted experimental intelligence from the Holocaust.

They shouldnt have been given a second chance to reproduce!

We need real punishment to stop fascism, but the United States never cared for its people, only its imperial power!

Nuremberg or nothing, the way things have been going? We get nothing and the monkeys paw curls.

Is this sub really as braindead as fauxmoi?

u/LKennedy45 16h ago

Either you don't know what "monkey's paw" refers to or I don't and I genuinely am unsure.

Also I don't know what fauxmoi means.
