The only way to “heal the country” is justice. To make it clear to the right that this is unacceptable. There needs to be arrests for all trumps political staff, friends in the media and any tech billionaires who broke the laws supporting him.
We’re gonna need A LOT more than just arrests. We’re gonna need to strike the fear of death into anyone that might even so much as think of doing this shit again.
The key is all the minions that jumped on the bandwagon, to carry out their fantasies of power and control over people, to loot the system, to exercise their racism, to vent their spite and hatred.
Right now it seems like the people in charge may escape justice but the thousands of minions aren’t. The key is for them to face justice, to become a deterrent to the next time.
That being said, I thought we had that with the Capital rioters, but they all seemed to get pardoned a few years into their sentences too maybe a return to law and justice is too much to hope for
Clearly they’ve been holding themselves above the law while looting the country and abusing their authority. They deserve justice.
But somehow they’ve duped half the voters. The brain-washing finally seems to be developing cracks. But the reality is half the voters will believe anything people in the correct party shovel their way.
Joke all you want about “healing” by giving, but any coming together has to somehow bring a lot of these people back to conscienceness. I have no idea how - is there a bar can equivalent to help people recover? Maybe we can modify airliners to spread it over flyover country
Are you going to give the land back to the tribes over all those broken treaties and give reparations to not only the descendants of slaves, but also the entire global south from which we stole their working age population and resources for hundreds of years?
Because I agree the only way to heal the country is justice I just think you’ve diagnosed a pimple on a tumor.
Not going to happen until all of the “centrist” (actually right wing corporatist) Democrats in charge of the party get out of the way.
They’ll never not prioritize the comfort of their owner donors MUCH higher than the needs and wants of the general populace they’re supposed/pretending to serve.
It won’t happen if you elect a “heal the country” Democrat. Elect someone whose entire platform is justice.
