How long should we be concerned with those who assaulted American Democracy and the Republic and attempted to overthrow an election?

Oh, I'd say for about as long as those in the South who feel the destruction of the Union was justified in 1861.

I originally grew up in upstate New York, traveled the world for 20 years in the Navy, then settled in Virigina.

I'm actually shocked to have met people around here in the mid-South that feel the destruction of the Union was justified in 1861.

So right now we're at about 60 years and there are those who still feel that way today.

Now you have someone to punish for that in not voting for Trump in the primaries. But, keep in mind, the Democratic Party wants Trump to be the nominee because that is the only candidate Biden can beat.
So, you should hope Trump becomes the nominee next year.
I sure don't.

Biden could take DeSantis too, that guy ****ed up his appeal when he used government force against speech.

But I suppose we should just let the sedition go, I mean it was just a kegger that got out of hand.

You don't read what I wrote, do you?

For the record: The election was not stolen from Trump.
Never voted for Trump in 2016 or 2020.
Hope he never runs again. I will, once again, not vote for him because he is not worthy of my vote.

My comments are directed at those who are still (after two years) still obsessed with punishing Trump. Like you have nothing better to do with your time. Do you go around condemning Nazi leaders of 80 years ago for supporting the Holocaust?
TDS is a real thing. But you (and your fellow anti-Trumpers) don't understand that the Democratic Party is counting on Trump to get the nomination so that Biden can beat him again.
So keep punishing Trump and the 1/6 idiot rioters while, at the same time, hoping he gets the nomination so he can lose to Biden again. Twisted logic, isn't it?

You're wrong about the last, but I accept that you don't support Trump at face value.

The rest of your assertions are just illogical and vacuous. Trump is a candidate, so he remains a threat to the nation. There's no "TDS" involved, that is just an incredibly stupid assertion. The thread is not even about Trump - you injected that yourself. That you continuously inject such assertions indicates an unhealthy obsession and belies the bolded claim.

But punishing Trump is about punishing his illegal activity. It's a simple as that. Don't pretend it's something that is not, and don't excuse behavior that you claim to not support.

Too bad you don't believe in States' Rights where individual states now have the right to ban or allow abortions. If you don't like how your state is handling that issue, you can always move to a state that agrees with you.
That's how the Constitution was written.

If a ham sandwich runs against Grifty it can count on my vote

All they had to do on jan6 was to create enough disturbance to get Pence whisked away to “safety” so he couldn’t physically gable the vote tally. Then Trump could impose Marshall law and shut the whole election down until he “found out what was going on, and could secure order.” That’s what the gallows was for with the hang Mike Pence sign. They weren’t manning to hang him… it was a show.

That close buddy… but Pence wouldn’t leave.

Actually the plan was to disrupt the Constitutionally mandated counting of the Electoral College ballots and get the counting suspended. Then try to get it moved to the Constitutional backup which is to throw the Presidential election to the House. Once in the House each state delegation gets only 1 vote, which dispels and "population" representation, with more Red States that Blue States the consensus was that the House would install Trump.

I have no problem with a criminal being sent to prison.
It just seems that after more than two years after the 1/6 event normal people would not still be crowing over how many years the convicted criminal will serve.
I believe that it is still hatred for Trump that drives people on hope for more punishment for the perpetrators of 1/6.
That's a lot of extended and all powerful TDS that still grips a lot of people.

Trump started it. What's that thing about where does a buck stop?

Remind yourself that Biden is now president and Trump is a private citizen that very few people like and want to run for president again.
TDS is still alive and now it is the degree of fear people are experiencing about Trump running again.

You have a problem with it being over two years? It wasn't an "Event" it was insurrection and sedition.

Normal people?

Oh FFS, these people were violent domestic terrorists, intent on overthrowing our government. I don't care how long it took to throw them in prison, its not about hatred for Trump, its about hatred for anti-American terrorists who wanted to overthrow the government.

Quit standing up for domestic terror FFS.

Its not TDS, it is about meting out justice for these anti-American criminal terrorists.

“Some people did something” right?

Yes, people with half a brain should realize Trump is bad for the country and not vote for him in the primaries or the general election if, in fact, we are unlucky to have him as the GOP nominee.
BUt.......the Democratic Party wants him to be the nominee so that Biden can beat him again. They fear Biden will lose to anyone else.

The Democratic party has no say who the majority of GOP primary voters select as their nominee.

Who has TDS in this scenario?

Very few? According to FiveThirtyEight Trump's approval rating beats Biden's. Of course that can change:
