Whether all Trump supporters can be considered radicalized, I don't know. Some of them (like one of my neighbors) are poor saps who just buy all that right wing fear mongering about "socialism". They are actually more afraid of that than they are of a mentally unbalanced out of control would-be dictator. Don't ask me to explain that, I can't.

Back to Trump's literal road warriors. I have come to the conclusion that there is no other solution: if we are fortunate enough to reclaim the White House, we're going to have to start classifying shit like this as domestic terrorism. This just gets worse and worse and worse, and unless we start taking these people off the streets, it's going to go on. I'm well aware that even if we start jailing people for this, it'll bring others out of the woodwork. Yes, it'll get worse before it gets better. But you've gotta start somewhere.

You want to talk about law and order? The government has to follow the same law we do, and we have to have fair, unfettered and non-threatening elections. Biden had the idea right, just the wrong targets. We don't need our prisons to be filled with marijuana users, we need them to be filled with law breakers like self-dealing politicians and their gun-toting, bus-chasing followers.
