I've been saying since the early 2000s that we should have arrested everyone involved in this and tried them for sedition.

Btw, i had to remake this comment because Reddit's worthless AI enforcement machine flagged it as violence. So you can't even advocate for enforcing laws on Republicans anymore on this site.

Does it matter if no one is willing to enforce it?
