The social media companies and stripe etc, should also sever ties and ban the lawmakers that egged people on and supported this insurrection. Why stop at trump? Or do actions only on their platforms count?
EDIT: I meant the few lawmakers that refused to certify Biden and incited the crowd into insurrection.
- sovietmudkipz 6y agoWhy stop there? When is it enough?
- arp242 6y agoSevering ties with about half the lawmakers in half the country is ... quit the step. This is quite literally the sort of stuff you find when reading about the prelude to civil wars. No really; think about the actual practical implications this would have and what the country would look like in five years' time. There is a massive problem on our hands, yes, but this is absolutely not the way to solve it.
- TheOperator 6y agoI don't read his post as pointing the finger at all Republicans. I see it more targeted at people like Cruz who refused to even Certify Biden for President. I doubt he's saying Pence who was notably outspoken in his support of certifying Biden and had violent threats against him as a result is who he's talking about just because he's a Republican.
- arp242 6y agoPossibly; the post is a bit unclear on the specifics. Still, this would be a sizeable number of people and I don't think it'll end well.
