If the next administration doesn't start with arrests

And charges against these people, only then will I admit we are completely fucked.
These people need to be jailed for the rest of their fucking lives. Everyone who has participated in kidnapping people off the streets needs to be sent away.
There are so many rights being denied and if we do not meet that with the full force of the law, we will never be rid of trumpism.

The Athenians made an oath that they would "not remember" the outrages of the Tyranny. It was the only way Athenian democracy could move on, or so it was thought. Even those returning from exile took the oath. (Circa 403 BCE).

I am sure each and every person in this admin will get a blanket pardon. They are criming with impunity

Only then? He/they already committed numerous crimes including murdering over 1 million Americans with Covid. And he/they got away with it all for the most part, and he was elected again. Although I believe the election was bought/tampered with, he still got a very large number of votes.

A large part of why we are here is due to him in particular never being held accountable and most importantly not being stopped from running again. And also you can go all the way back to the civil war and see the same thing happening. No accountability and punishment etc.

Give up power is if enough of us protest in the streets and shut the country down. That's assuming somehow we win the votes.
