    Just because they want to pretend the Constitution doesn’t exist doesn’t mean we have to accept it.

    We don’t have to match the MAGAs immorality to beat them, we just have to play Hard Ball, and force them to follow the rules, and the rules are the Constitution. If they refuse to follow the rules, we can’t just say “Oh well, we tried,” and give up. You FORCE them to adhere to those rules, whether they like it or not. And if they won’t cooperate, you keep pushing, and you NEVER stop demanding that they follow the rules.

    Make them obey, period. You don’t disparage those that are advocating for forcing them to follow the Constitution. That’s just weak, and that kind of Democratic thinking is what allowed MAGA to rise, take power, and then take power AGAIN!

      Too many people do not want violence of any form ever, so they’ll just let maga do what they want.

      If the rules prohibit something, and they do it anyway, you need to stop them. Much like the paradox of tolerance, the rules are a treaty not a suicide pact.

        Being committed to Peace doesn’t mean that violence is off the table. It is absolutely last resort, but history often puts humanity in a position of having to defend peaceful people against Monsters who are equally committed to violence and oppression. It’s an unfortunate position, but we did not choose this, the Monsters did, and therefore we have to meet them on their terms.

        The difference is that if our violence wins, it’s over, and Peace is restored. If the Monsters win, they are just getting started.
