Um, no. The idea of ridding the community of seditionists is a VERY old concept. People were told to leave town, were hanged, were tossed off ships, were shunned.
It's not dystopian at all. It's ancient.
There were people even in the Plymouth Colony, the base of whom came over on the Mayflower, who were told to leave and go fend for themselves in the wilderness because they were a threat to the community.
Tech moguls are holding a digital book burning and Brian Stelter and other leftists are dancing around the flames"
Makes me wonder if the libs know they will be next?
This is rich! The right is lecturing others about "big tech" a.k.a big corporations!
Remember when the right celebrated the SCOTUS giving corporations the rights of a person and that big corporations using $$$ to buy elections is free speech? Didn't think it would come back to the right, did they?
And my angry words seem "uncivil". And downright "UnAmerican". How ironic.
We don't need to welcome these seditionists back into our communities. I would be THRILLED if the trespassers who were the leaders - and that includes the entire heaveho mob - were permanently denied the citizen rights to own a gun, vote, and fly. And placed permanently on a "seditionist" list that would bar them from gaining professional licenses, serving on a jury, etc.
And that's as American as it gets. To not tolerate those who would break into a building for the purpose of killing the vice president.
And if the US were a ship on the ocean, I'd throw them off for attempted mutiny.
And you can call me UnAmerican all you want for that, but I'm fully in the court of defending America from foreign and domestic terrorism.
(Note: I don't include those who came late to the riot, who may not have even known that the rioters had to attack cops to gain entrance, or those who were in fact welcomed by those cops at one entrance. They committed misdemeanors at the very most. I'm talking about the savages, the leaders, the ones who were pounding on doors and breaking through barriers with blood on their minds, and chanting hang Mike Pence and erecting a gallows for the purpose).

That sentiment flew out the window Wednesday, and I realize how completely naive I was about Trump's followers, when I watched them occupy our nation's Capitol looking for lawmakers to kidnap/kill.
I'm a huge fan of peace and unity, and reaching out.
But I don't pander to would be murderers who are trying to overthrow the leadership of my country.
And that's where the sentiment went. My initial desire to let bygones be bygones was wrong, and I admit it now. I misjudged the most fervent MAGA crowd, and Trump, and gave them too much credit. These people are not worth uniting with. I've seen them now for what they are, which is junkyard dogs.
Because your words ARE unclivil and they ARE unAmerican.
You are saying Trump supporters are “junkyard dogs”, they are not “worth uniting with”, deserve to be “shunned”. You are calling for your fellow citizens to be stripped of their civil rights.
You are calling for the separation of the United States.
My advice to you is to move out of Texas before that happens.

It is not unamerican to defend our country, and our leaders.
And no, I'm not calling for separation of the US.
I'm calling for felony criminal prosecution of several hundred people who tried to over throw the US leadership.
And impeachment and removal from office of Trump, so he can never again mount this attack on my beloved country.
And socially shunning people you know, who defend this attempt to overthrow the country.

It's rare for these Trump supporters to even understand the basic history of the country they claim to love so much, else they wouldn't be saying this is anything new.
It says that exactly. If you want one, best to buy one before they're illegal.
