I hope we can all agree on this:

[Chasstev365]

No Republican should EVER be able to live down their blind support of Trump or be forgiven for letting Trump destroy our democracy.

I still don't think individual Republicans are taking enough heat for what Trump has done.

[rampartd]

1. these people should not be hired for any purpose by a democratic admin.

a black list is certainly appropriate for people with demonstrated loyalty above their oath of office.

[niyad]

2. None of those fucking traitors should be hired even as sewer workers.

[Clouds Passing]

3. Imprison them for sedition

[OldBaldy1701E]

28. I will accept nothing less.

I am aware that I am going to be gravely disappointed (pun intended), but that is my position on it.

[calimary]

41. Well, they've CERTAINLY earned it.

[William Seger]

4. Drain the cesspool (nt)

[liberalla]

5. I definitely agree!

[bdamomma]

6. I think

NO Democratic Senator or Representative should attend the SOTU!!!!

[wnylib]

12. It might send a better message if they did show up

and then walked out together right as the ugly fascist started speaking. They might even wear or carry a sign saying "Say no to fascism." Or "Say no to dictatorship" since so many people don't even understand what fascism is.

They would never do it, I'm sure. But I recall that Pelosi had the nerve to rip up a speech full of lies.

[bdamomma]

14. Yes,

I remember that. Actions do speak louder than words. In a way, if the Democratic leadership did walk out can you imagine the toddler having a tantrum and embarrassing GQP 'ers.

[wnylib]

18. The toddler would respond with a cruel retaliation on

blue states and a huge controversy over which side was right would ensue.

So, would it be an effective act that would enhance democracy? Probably not.

Maybe it would be more effective to show up but call out lies on the spot with gestures or a word or two. Remember a RWer yelling "lies" at Obama's SOU? Or the challenge that MAGAs tried to give Biden when Biden turned it back around on them? The toddler is not quick thinking enough to do what Biden did. He would just have a tantrum instead.

[BattleRow]

32. Provide baby rattlers(not rattle snakes) to each Dem.

And when the whining and lying begins,shake those rattlers.
Shake,rattle and roll the SOU ..

[Conjuay]

46. I like the other ' baby rattler' idea

and a few Gladstone flags too!

[Joinfortmill]

7. I agree. I'm having a difficult time dealing with the cretins who voted for him, too.

[Melon]

8. 77 million voters.....

I feel like most of them still support this.

[OGBuzz]

11. Sadly....

I have an (ex) friend who has now reached the 'Trump-is-god' stage of his life. There is nothing that Trump can do that would convince him otherwise. Jim Jones had similar control and influence over people but thankfully it was on a much smaller scale. Trumpism will not go down quietly.

[bdamomma]

15. .......

they have consumed too much kool-aid.

[oberle]

29. Kind of wish they would...

[COL Mustard]

45. I don't understand it either.

I have family who went full Trump as soon as he started running. They viewed him as the paragon of success and virtue, and the Fox/OANN/Newsmax echo chamber just made it so that any dissenting opinion, of any kind, was branded as treason. You can't fix willful stupidity and people who want to be stupid are beyond repair.

[KS Toronado]

9. Need to hang Epstein around all of their necks

and talk about what kind of people are OK with child molesters/pedophiles.

[Martin68]

10. We will never forget that they betrayed their country in support of an insane fascist.

[otchmoson]

13. I phone and e-mail my congress critters daily and . . .

at least once a week, I reference (1) Scott's unanswered Medicaid corruption and (2) their touted family values/Christian vlaues that they so miserably fail to demonstrate. I then tell them it's not what they say, but what they do, and WE WILL REMEMBER!

[bdamomma]

17. The SAVE Act

(which it isn't) was passed in the House, this will disenfranchise many women voters. I hope it doesn't get passed in the Senate.

[dem4decades]

51. It might keep Republicans in power for ever.

[gulliver]

16. Disagree

They change to support our core values and vote for us, they're good. Sit down, and have a beer.

Grudges are politically dumb, not to mention effectively immoral. We should always be looking in the mirror. Always. If we have a better plan, and people don't seem to want to follow it, immediately trashing them instead of reviewing our sales approach or maybe even our plan is just plain foolish.

[Cirsium]

19. the 80s are calling

They want their bipartisanship back.

Grudges? Grudges? Against rapists? Against murders? Against kidnappers? Against traitors? Against fascists?

Damn straight.

Have a beer? Look in the mirror? If we have a better plan? Our sales approach?

That may be the worst post I have ever read here. My apologies if you meant it as a parody.

[Chasstev365]

20. Bipartisanship with these Republicans?

It would be like the Union Republicans just letting the leaders of the Confederacy back in to take their seats after the Civil War, so they could obstruct every aspect of Reconstruction.

HELL NO! Not with these Republicans, who failed to honor their oath to the constitution!

[BattleRow]

33. RepubliCANT

[4bonhoffer]

21. Spot on

It’s not trump. It’s trump And the republicans.

[oldinmtdem92]

43. it is all of the republicans

there is no real punishment for breaking a sacred oath butt there should be prison for the oath breakers that is all.

[GoodRaisin]

22. Absolutely they should be excoriated and raked over the coals

for what they have allowed. It is pure betrayal what they have done. And I agree they are not taking nearly enough heat for it. Those up for reelection need to be slammed for it by their democratic opponents.

[red dog 1]

23. I agree!

[SupportSanity]

24. Inglorious Basterds - Carve something memorable on their foreheads that that won't go away

Not sure what to carve.
MAGA - nope - had enough of that
capital T for Trump? had enough of that, too.
DNA - Do Not Approach ?

Open to suggestions.

[Chasstev365]

25. PP: Pedo Protectors

[BattleRow]

34. Swastika?

[Beartracks]

26. So much herd mentality in the right wing. They've each had countless opportunities...

... to do the right thing, but always "toed the party line" when the moment really mattered.

==========

[annielion]

27. I totally agree.

If we can have a fair election this time (or prove the steal immediately) I don't think the Republicans are going to have many choices. People will remember for a long time what the Republicans have done to all of us.

[calimary]

47. We can certainly help with that. Don't let 'em forget!

After everything that’s happened, I expect there might be a few “finally had enough” folks who’ve seen too much by now. Maybe even more than a few.

[mgardener]

30. I will

Never, ever forget Stefanik's support of Trump.
And if she re enters politics, after spending time with her family, I will remind people of her support of a pedophile and traitor.
And her lack of moral clarity and courage.

[duckworth969]

31. When Chump dies

I’m figuring MAGA suicides and mass shootings will take place. That’s what cult members do when they’re overwhelmed.

[live love laugh]

35. Language is why. REPUBLICANS' name should be used instead of Trump.

Even Trump should be called REPUBLICAN Trump. Unless language improves and Republicans will escape this mess Scott free.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

36. True

[Godot51]

37. Hiding

Republicans are hiding behind drumpf's diapers...

[Jack Valentino]

38. Personally, I think the American 'Republican Party' should be OUTLAWED----

just as the West Germans outlawed the 'Nazi Party' after World War 2 !!!!!


and Abraham Lincoln would be on our side, in this time !!!!

[Qutzupalotl]

39. I'm more inclined to blame propaganda

and the propagandists than the blind fools who swallowed it up.

They poisoned the minds of a critical mass with lies, and this is the result.

Ignorance is one thing. If someone is truly unaware of the facts, I’m more inclined to pity them. But I think the worst punishments should go to those who knowingly deceived.

[bdamomma]

53. Propaganda

is in the Fascist handbook. Putin and others schooled Trump on it. It is working on those who are suffering from cognitive dissonance.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

40. Agree 100%!

[Javaman]

42. this is the problem though...

at the end of WWII, collaborators were rounded by the local populous and had swastikas carved into their foreheads. Forever shamed.

today, if we carved a "T" into their foreheads, these idiots would wear it as a badge of honor.

[oldinmtdem92]

44. tatoo

big red letters traitor

[Javaman]

48. I would prefer, "I'm a moron". and everyone would know not to deal with them. LOL nt

[zanana1]

49. I'll never forgive Trump voters.

I don't even care if they're sorry they voted for him. Ignorance is no excuse.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

50. I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY!

MOST of the Republicans in Congress SHOULD BE OUSTED!

[Jilly_in_VA]

52. A-FUCKING-MEN!

NONE of them! From Mini-Mike and Shady McMaybelline down to the lowest of the low. Paint them all red and LIGHT THEM UP!
