We should have an exchange program for these types of shitheads, where they go and live under an actual authoritarian regime for years.
I'm all for this as long as we conveniently forget to swap them back.
Less of an exchange, more of an air drop with a "good luck, asshole" thrown in right before the boot in the ass.
That's very generous. A well seasoned boiled boot stew is a delicacy in North Korea... they'd basically be set for all the luxuries of middle class North Korean life like: having roof.
Is giving MAGA access to nukes a wise choice tho?
They'd have no more access there then they have here... and, to be honest, given Trump's track record with secrets, there isn't a chance in hell Kim Jong Un trusts magiots with anything important.
This hypothetical is already so absurd, so:
MAGA people get to keep theor arsenal, but prepper food supplys are redistributed to native NKs in a New Thanksgiving festival.
And as soon as MAGA doesnt get their way, they riot and overthrow Kim, easy considering disparity in nourishment.
And conveniently "forgetting" the parachutes.
Most of them are extra special snowflake i don't think they will survive long in a real authoritarian country anyway
I doubt they live long enough to be brought back
How about for the rest of their lives? We don't need them here.
"We didn't get far on January 6th"
Wait, I thought January 6 was anti-fa?
When they tell you who they are, believe them the first time.
I don't understand why there are no consequences for this kind of thing. No visits from the FBI or related. No vigilantes deciding a literal plot to overthrow the government is time to take action.
Ok, maybe it's because they're white men, that's why the police haven't murdered them in their sleep or bombed their apartment buildings.
Yes, that's the reason. If they were suspected of having a bit too much melanin, being insufficiently xtian, or being a Democrat and/or "antifa" it might be quite a different story.
We used to execute traitors.
Unfortunately, only rarely. Too many got away with horrific crimes.
Well, no shit. This was called a long time ago. "If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Posobiec is among guests at this year’s four-day CPAC event in Washington DC, where Mr Trump, right-wing media personalities, members of Congress, state officials and the former president’s allies and surrogates are reviving familiar grievances and outlining attacks against political rivals heading into 2024 elections.
Jeffrey Clark, a former US Department of Justice official who is among more than a dozen of Mr Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case, told a crowd on Friday that the prosecution of defendants for joining the mob that broke into the Capitol on 6 January 2021, is a “grave injustice”.
Mr Clark is also an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal case criminally charging the former president with conspiracy and obstruction for his multi-state attempts to overturn results and a failure to stop a pro-Trump mob from breaking into the Capitol.
She addressed the 2024 event on Friday, outlining a forthcoming US Supreme Court case surrounding January 6 that she said will either “bring down this entire house of cards” or the “pretense that we have a rule of law in this nation”.
Ms Gold – whose group America’s Frontline Doctors sponsored last year’s CPAC – minimized the events of January 6 to argue that an obstruction charge against hundreds of defendants was never intended to target “civilian protests” in Congress.
In arguments in front of the Supreme Court to keep Mr Trump on Colorado ballots after a 14th Amendment challenge pointing to his support for “insurrection,” the former president’s attorney conceded that the mob’s actions on January 6 were “criminal”.

America is so fucked for the foreseeable future.
