He needs to be in a prison cell.
He needs to be hanged for his crimes
I’m making myself groan even saying this, but this is how you create a martyr. His unreasonable followers already have chosen their narrative but you kill him and that’s all they will remember and use as an excuse for whatever comes next.
See I would have agreed with you just a few years back, the fear of a martyr is that it will radicalize their followers. I don’t think that applies here because in their eyes he’s already surpassed martyr status
Who cares? Let him be one. He will be any way do you not get that?
Hanged? I’d rather see his head separated from his body. Bring back the guillotine!
Hanging means his death shit will be in full view, which will affect his followers final view of him. Otherwise I agree with you for say, if Kissinger ever saw justice
Good point. I’d love to watch him shit himself while choking to death.
Aparently he's already been shitting himself durring speeches so it wouldn't be anything new.
That’s pretty standard republican behavior.
He needs to be convicted for his Jan 6 treason first, of course.
The fraud convictions only warrant prison.
Oh for sure, not in the ‘hang mike pence’ way, but in my view he’s committed acts judicially worthy of hanging.
Nah fuck capital punishment. Prison is fine.
This attitude is why we still have people idolizing the Confederacy.
Im actually gonna double down cause in this sort of instance i disagree, Trump needs the Mussolini treatment because that’s who he really is
