Thread from a historian of the Civil War and Reconstruction, my unsolicited advice to @DNC 1. Trump should be either impeached or removed through the 25th amendment as already agreed but @SenatorHawleyMO @tedcruz should be expelled when we have a majority.
2. All Senate and House @GOP Representatives and Senators who challenged the Electoral College results should be censured. Eventually we need an amendment to get rid of the EC!
3. All @GOP Congressmen complicit in the attack in the Capitol should be criminally prosecuted and like Trump barred from holding any high office under the 14th amendment.
4. All law enforcement involved in the attack should be removed and criminally prosecuted immediately, including the state attorney generals who instigated this.
5. All and I mean all rioters in front of the Capitol and state capitols should be arrested even if it is thousands under the Enforcement Acts and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
6. All this must be done to safeguard the democratic process without which you can get no policy achievements. We need a third reconstruction of American democracy to uphold the rule of law and our republic itself. Please learn from the Reconstruction Congress. Finis
