It's sedition and treason, plain and simple, and if Biden terrified the right's supporters by sending these people to prison - proper prison, not some ****ing resort where they can kick back and write their poxy memoirs - for real terms, real sentences, maybe, just maybe they'd think twice before doing it again.
Trump's supporters should have been scared of Biden's revenge. Instead he and his party went "can't we all get along?" and though they gave him the finger, he did basically nothing. Few slaps on the wrist, few token prison sentences, don't do it again or we'll be cross. Imagine if the positions were reversed? Gallows, man. Gallows.

You sound like we should be acting like one of those banana republics. Punishing the other side for being the other side has only resulted in revenge wars upon revenge wars. Yes, those involved in the insurrection should be brought to justice, but we also need to show mercy. Yes, the high profile offenders should do some real time, hopefully with some of the people they despise the most, but maybe the average dupe who got drawn into the mess should get a break. Maybe I'm being naive, but, maybe if we can all realize none of us are inherently evil (well, most of us, anyway), we can find a way to the light at the end of the tunnel.
I mean there has to be a reason why Martin Luther King prevailed in history and Adolf Hitler didn't, right?
