The public members of Oath Keepers & Proud Boys seem like the tip of the ice burg... what we're not taking action on are the far-right paramilitary true believers in law enforcement & govt- including Senators & Congress Reps that continue to flood social media with hate speech, guns & ChristoFascism.

Elected officials from the Republican Party and their supporters are openly and brazenly urging armed overthrow of the #USA government (this week at NY Republican group). Why were they not rounded up and charged with sedition (like in Germany & other countries recently)? America has lost its way … #Politics #International
@OldCountryDoctor @QueenOfEverything @peterquirk can you name the specific law they broke?
European countries have those laws because they have more of a history of domestic terrorist incidents than we do.
We don't even have a statue on the books because we can't come to a consensus on how to define it.
The Mark Meadows texts may go a long way in changing that.

The #USA does need more explicit laws about overthrowing democracy. As you say, it can learn from other countries that have dealt with this before — a high priority for the US Senate before the government collapses. #Politics

"FREE SPEECH" doesn't include armed insurrection. We need to clarify Domestic Terrorism/Sedition to include "words can kill"
CHAPTER 115—TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
Sec.
2381.Treason.
2382.Misprision of treason.
2383.Rebellion or insurrection.
2384.Seditious conspiracy.
2385.Advocating overthrow of Government.
2386.Registration of certain organizations.

The "rugged individualism" that allowed us to colonize this country has devolved into apathy and blatant selfishness. It will be our downfall if we don't do something.
@Oma_Trisha @QueenOfEverything @OldCountryDoctor @peterquirk @FreezyWriter @grapho @Myriacanth that had nothing to do with the original colonists. The Puritans came here to escape religious persecution.
If you mean the westward expansion, that " rugged individualism " was a figleaf to.cover for genocide.
@Darkenyght1701 @QueenOfEverything @OldCountryDoctor @peterquirk @FreezyWriter @grapho @Myriacanth not even close. The Puritans came here because they wanted to be free to perpetuate their extremist views and establish a theocracy. They wanted to limit voting rights in America to congregation members in good standing. They were being persecuted because the Church of England didn't agree with their radical ideology.

Our personal "RIGHTS" & "RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM" doesn't mean we can inflict our beliefs on everyone else. #politics #rights #FreeSpeechNot
