    What is more authoritarian than free enterprise is ... when the politicians and bureaucrats control and operate all business interactions.

    I don't know that. The rich doesn't control me. I own my own home, cars, land. I can work where I want, make my own future and the future of my kids.

    Not sure where you're getting this fantasy.

    There is no such thing as 'representative democracy', so there is nothing to distinguish it from 'democracy'. A democracy is already a 'direct'. That is a redundancy. You have stated that you will continue to be bull-headed about this. Why? Because of what some school taught you about the United States? Guess what? It was wrong.

    Since that effectively is the definition of totalitarianism, good luck getting someone to show you anything like an exception to that!

    Quite right. None of these so-called 'insurrectionists' were trying to take over the government, nor trying to destroy the Constitution of the United States.

    Of course, they were. What would have happened if they hung Pence and killed politicians that are less than 100 percent Trumpy. That was the plan. That and stopping the joint political ceremonial counting of the electoral votes. Trump wanted that stopped. It was delayed by the insurrectionists which is the definition of sedition. It was no accident that Trump held a rally near the capitol at that time and place.
    Romney and AOC would have been murdered. Lots of others would have too.

    We're still talking about the 1-6-2021 idiots.

    we might mercifully forget about those lowlifes.

    Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln were socialists.

    What do you suggest they do with the rioters in Portland?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Try pulling your head out of Satan’s ass for a bit and realize that asshole had shit for brains for trying to take over the government. The assholes actually believed they would kick off a civil war.

    It’ll all come out in the trials of the militia leaders. Not only will they use the Trump defense, but they’ll have proof assistance came from the White House. Sure, not Trump himself, but probably Junior, Rudy, etc.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Arrest all criminals and introduce them to the American justice system. It doesn’t matter where they committed their crimes, but it does matter who has jurisdiction over their crimes.

    There are no more pernicious criminals in America today than states' rights advocates.
    They're at the core of the vote suppression sedition.
    Neither Stalin nor Hitler nor Draco himself had sufficiently Draconian consequences for the likes of 10th Amendment criminals in Red State Legislatures.
    They should have an excruciating experience that surpasses anything that any of us peace loving liberals can even imagine
    The PPV TV revenue would be welcome in the national treasury.

    It might impact Republican registrations a bit at town and city halls across the nation as well.

    Not a bit of it. They were not trying to take over the government, nor trying to destroy the Constitution of the United States. It is DEMOCRATS that do not recognize the Constitution of the United States nor any State constitution. It is the DEMOCRAT coup (so far successful) that is seditious.

    What electoral votes? The election faulted due to election fraud by Democrats.

    With good reason. Counting fake electoral votes is sedition.
