Would you support a denazification type program if we return to power?

Trump and prominent members of his circle would be brought before tribunals and face long prison sentences, the Republican Party would be banned, Trump supporters would be prohibited from holding positions in the civil service and running for office, putting up pro-Trump signs or posting pro-Trump messages on social media would be a criminal offence, set up camps to detain Trump supporters where they could be reeducated, pro Trump news outlets would be shut down etc., etc..

But punishments need to also happen.

Somehow I don't think that would go over very well sunshine.

On the contrary; I think I'd actually find such an exercise ...cathartic.

Oh; you were referring to how well THEY'D enjoy the experience.

9. So to be clear, 80% of respondents favor eliminating, at a minimum, the First and Fourth Amendments?

If you return to power, what you're suggesting would be just about the fastest way to find yourselves back out of power.

I think they should make it part of their platform if they're so certain the "majority" of Americans hate DJT.  Put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.

Only 7 out of 8 8 out of 10 DUmmies approve of reopening the Gulags? Off to the Kolyma with the holdout traitors!!!

I just ran into this thread over there.  I was quite honestly shocked.  It's just so....naked.  Yes is at 68% now.  Pushback is maybe five posts.  I would love someone with an X premium account to post this to X.  Evil assholes like these should never be returned to power.

I wish I could say that I am surprised.

But I can not.

This is who they are.

[Old n Grumpy]

It’s really disgusting how they think they say that they’re so inclusive and passionate on all they are is Nazis in disguise. They’re more worried about illegal aliens, drug dealers murderers than anything and they hate American people that work for a living and give up their hard earned money to the government that just pisses it away. It’s disgusting how they go to bat for murderers like that black kid stabbed an innocent white kid for no reason he went to a school track meet armed with a deadly weapon.

Supporters is how we got here. They need to suffer. This is not just any political party, one that’s the enemy of this country and of humanity.

Be careful what you wish for.

Polybius asked the OP to define "Trump Supporters."  Here is what it said.

one would have to go by public statements, posts on social media, stickers on vehicles, signs in the yard and such.

I imagine the FBI could hack websites like Free Republic and find the real identity of that site's members.

For the love of God, we cannot allow these loathsome creatures to gain power. 

Sympthsical weighed in with a brief post, and then was too depressed to do any more internet for the day.

My question is how they plan on doing this? New gestapo to knock at your door?

Yep. You'll be able to tell they're the New Gestapo by the pink & blue Looney Troon^TM aiming points armbands on their sleeves.

     As frustrating as it is, these people are all in their 60's at a minimum and could barely hold an instrument of death up for long enough to point it. Leave aside the instruments of death pointing back at them. They brag about their mental illnesses and whine about being low on funds. Let them have their fantasies. The spare few that would have the moxie to try unilaterally suspending the Constitution by force will be good examples for the rest.

     One more thing: know who else calls their effort "denazification?"

     The

     mother****ing

     Russians.

[SVPete]

The DUmmie is probably calling people (s)he disagrees with by using the WW2 term coined in the US for the post-war process of removing Nazi ideology from German and Austrian society. The Soviets used the term post-war as cover for Sovietizing Eastern European nation.

It's typical Prog demonization tactics, fellow kulaks.

I’m just really confused. I’ve been telling everyone I see I’m a proud authoritarian, when politics are brought up.

Now I don’t know what I am!

I support putting Trump voters in camps.

(As long as Biden and Harris are in charge of the gates.)

This thread fascinates me.  The yes's are at 61%.  Amazingly, the prospect of weapons being used against them came up only once.  Do they really think we would dociley climb the stairs into the railcars?
