Consequences for Sedition and Insurrection

The USA has, since it's inception, been building towards a universally inclusive, democratic republic. It is a great concept that started in an era of increasing enlightenment... As the centuries have past there has been a reasonably consistent effort to apply the benefits of our democratic republic, closer and closer, to 100% of our citizens and immigrants.

 

Every step towards the inclusion of everybody has met with resistance/push back.

The push back has been from white, northern European, Americans and it has culminated in insurrection in the US capital; in the US Capitol Building. The lies, sedition and regressive direction of these northern European, white, Americans started, again, after the defeat of those same people in their last act of violent insurrection; the Civil War.

The Civil War's end was followed by few, to no, consequences for the parties responsible for sedition leading to, and their involvement in, said insurrection. Hence began the process, sedition, involved in the start of the re-prosecution of the Civil War. The regression accelerated after the election of an African American to two terms as President of these United States of America.

The Republican party has chosen to be a partner in fomenting sedition, and the resulting insurrection, over many decades. It started with their objections to the Equal and Voting Rights Acts; the courts slowly, but consistently disassembling, “Jim Crow;” and government institutions (especially the US military) integrating society.

There must be serious consequences (investigation, documentation, indictment and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law) for the individuals and institutions associated with the activities that have led to sedition and insurrection in 2021, or else we will, once again (sooner than later), resume the path toward white supremacists attempting to replace our democratic republic with an authoritarian regime that caters exclusively to said white, northern European, Americans.

The next attempted coup may be a more competent effort.
