IMO that would be considered a totally empty threat in T'world b/c they have every intention of making sure we NEVER take back either Congress or the WH. Remember, we prosecuted the J6ers - except, most important of all, the ringleader - and where are they all now?
I think their response would be derisive laughter.

At some point, the MAGAs will lose power. And when that happens, the people doing the administration's dirty work need to know and fear that they will held accountable.
Yes they will (lose power), and I hope it happens in my lifetime. But I think they believe they're invincible (which is part of what I think will destroy them). I honestly don't think there's any way they'll ever believe they're at risk. Yes, there were the Nuremberg Trials and other such tribunals historically; but considering T's decades of lawlessness, there have been pathetically few times he's been held accountable.
That may be be true, but we can't control their response, we can only control what we do. We have to try many different things because I have to believe all of it together will somehow do something. Better to try and fail than do nothing.
You may be right, but that's never been my approach. I NEVER threaten anything I can't back up if my bluff is called b/c I believe it makes me look even weaker if that happens. Bullies issue empty threats all the time; when I take a stand on something, I'm willing to go all the way to enforce it. I think people instinctively know when you're just trying to be intimidating w/out the power to carry thru.
We see a perfect example of a weak and pathetic bully everyday in the President. To your point, we see him threaten and then back down regularly and everyone that deals with him knows thats what he'll do. I like what youre saying, I just don't know how we can guarantee an outcome 100% of the time.
No, for sure we can't always guarantee an outcome. And the fact that he's clearly a bully yet so few people are willing to call his bluff is one of the most mind-boggling aspects to all of this. I've just lost all faith that the law / courts / justice will prevail this time. If it didn't happen w/ J6 or the classified docs, it's not going to.
The only way I don't completely lose my mind over it all is that I totally believe karma is unfailing: all the hate these people are sending out into the world will eventually have to be balanced, even if it's in another lifetime. I would love to live to see it, but I'm not holding my breath. :-(
