It is best to see this as evidence that the "Trump base" is now a target for attack. After all, we now have a "sedition task force" because of the "Trump base." It's been more than four years since Michael Flynn, former assistant director of ODNI, former director of intelligence JSOC, former director of the DIA, former National Security Advisor and confessed and convicted perjurer and foreign agent led a mob in a chant to imprison a political foe OVER A MUTHERFUCKING EMAIL SERVER: There are 20,000 National Guard troops at the capital right now. CBS is doing stand-ups with military vehicles and barricades in the background. Congressmen are getting shabnameh stapled to their doors by other congressmen. It's time to clean house on the "Trump base" and the fact that you still believe that any of this can be walked back to civility says an awful lot about the problems of leniency and forgiveness in the face of fascism, totalitarianism, populism and prejudice.
