    The only way this will happen is through violence, and even then it’s not a guarantee.

    • conservative South loss against the north in the civil war and there were no reparations or punishment.
    • Nixon came the closest to being impeached and charges were dropped as soon as he resigned, despite the fact that the votes were there. We was then fucking pardoned because “we need to move on.”
    • fucking TRUMP will “learn his lesson” for forcing Ukraine to provide opposition research on Biden in exchange for security.
    • TRUMP again when he literally caused people to storm the capitol.
    • when Biden was in office, house refused to even push more impeachment talks because “he’s not president anymore” and then got Pikachu faced when he ran again.
    • when Trump finally was found guilty in New York, the judge fucking gave him no jail time.

    Democrats refuse to hold Republicans accountable and we need to start acting like they are part of the problem.

      You have to remember that at the time of the civil war the US was a largely agrarian and geopolitically irrelevant backwater. It was terrified that the civil war would be the beginning of the end. So the lack of reparations was partly due to the fact that the south was (and still largely is) destitute, and partly because the north wanted a genuine reunification with minimal bad blood. Not saying it was the right choice. But it was based in logic.

      Hopefully we have all learned the lesson of tolerating bigots and thieves.
