Future generations in coming decades are going to sift through the documentary evidence of whatever remains of this country and wonder why we didn’t immediately remove all Republicans from power, given their goals, intentions, actions, and words.

It’s what needs to happen.
Sorry if that’s disruptive. Maybe you’ll also find being forced to be converted to evangelical Christianity at the point of a gun disruptive, too.

I know an immediate purge from power of every Republican would be disruptive.
Nazis taking power are disruptive, too.

It’s not controversial to suggest Nazis should have been purged from government.
It shouldn’t be controversial to suggest that a party that acts exactly like Nazis be purged from government.
Don’t choose order over justice.

It’s mainstream conservatism and always has been. Trump didn’t invent it. Trump never invented anything. Trump is a huckster who saw a market and filled it.

I've been recommending an executive order that recognizes the fact that the Republican party is already waging civil war against the U.S., and no member of such a party can hold or seek elected or appointed office.
But a word about civil war...

... these people have made their intentions plain, and they've made it clear that civil war is what they want. If they pursue their stated objectives, then it's only a question of what type of civil war we'll have; one of opposition or one of submission.
A civil war of submission is one in which a population, unwilling to oppose, cedes to authoritarians unfettered access to the power needed to wage war against all their internal targets.
We've seen this happen before.

What the Republican intends to do and is even now carrying out represents war against those in our country to whom they want to do it.
To give just this example: there is no way to do what Mike Flynn proposes that doesn't equate to a genocidal civil war of submission.

Then there is a civil war of opposition, which is a terrible thing.
But our judgment of our own past civil war is that it was a necessary thing, in order to prevent a far worse civil war of submission that would have ended the country.

I don't want civil war of any kind. That's why I recommend an EO. It seems the most apt mechanism at hand.
If we don't find a mechanism to stop this party, "no civil war" likely leaves the table as an option, because some type of civil war is what they are pursuing, right now.

When I look at what comfortable people in this country are willing to tolerate in order to avoid the discomfort of opposition, it seems what we'll get is the civil war of submission.
Many will die. Most will just try our best to not know what's happening.
It's happened before.

And if you think what I'm saying is extreme or radical, I'll just invite you to listen to what this man, pardoned for his betrayal of the United States by the likely next Republican president of the United States, beloved of Republican voters, is saying.

Again, this recommendation is to AVOID civil war.
Their intentions are plain, and equate to civil war against the intended targets of those intentions.
If you have a political party that intends civil war, you have to stop the party, or you will have civil war.

When the government of a country begins targeting, terrorizing, and killing its own citizens, I think we should consider that civil war.
What most people mean by civil war is "a internal war that would actually disrupt MY life."

Cute how some think Trump isn't still alive, or that Trumpism needs a living Trump to carry forward. He'll be more powerful an icon to this movement in death than he is in life.
They worship him now. In that sense he is immortal.

The dissent to my points are all based in an assumption that the GOP is still participating in our democracy, and not waging civil war against us.
And yes, if you that is your premise, what I’m saying is extreme.
In rebuttal I submit the evidence of your eyes and ears.
