“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

Steve Bannon, former White House adviser, is heard in the background exclaiming, “All right! Amen!”

All Republicans are perfectly happy with the idea of having a (Christo-)fascist dictatorship in power in the U.S. . All that they care about is that the dictatorship rewards them with money and power. I know Republicans like this, people you might think were just ordinary folks, and they're masters of telling themselves stories to justify their violence and thievery and masters at not seeing anything that might cause cognitive dissonance, to the extent that they're capable of that at all.

Can anyone explain how all of these people aren't being sent to prison for straight up treason? Isn't blatantly and loudly stating that you're intending to overthrow the united states government an enormous crime?

You'd think so, wouldn't you? People have been locked-away for treason after lesser acts than Jan 6. Treason laws in the United States . If the feds won't prosecute, I'd hope the state AGs would start to look into these kind of public displays of insurrection.

All conservatives must be dealt with. It's beyond clear that they cannot continue to exist in our society.

Dismantle all super PACS. Disseminate information to uncontrolled civilians. Destroy legalized bribery. If all else fails, become ungovernable.

Translation:

"My blog posts and vitamin enhancement pill business are not doing so well. Let me see if I can goose up outrage and get some attention."

Host: "All right! Amen!"
