Even if he gets convicted, I wouldn't put it past a centrist Democrat to pardon him for unity or some bullshit.
How would the left take something like that?
Like, say Georgia's pardon board is bribed and they pardon him. What happens then?
I don't think the left would be very surprised, we'd just keep focusing on direct action. Centrist Democrats already DGAF if we're mad.
Liberals would call it "unacceptable" for a few months, maybe do a couple protests, and then continue to vote for the people who got him pardoned.
Nothing would change.
Isn't anyone disturbed by that? Without extreme action from the left and no legal pushback from the Democrats, that would mean the right could do whatever the hell it wants without consequence, including genocide.
Why aren't we overthrowing them?
They already got away with indigenous genocide without consequence, so I can certainly believe it.
Overthrowing them is a huge prisoner's dilemma. We can barely even discuss specifics without getting the whole instance censored. The first person to fire a shot would likely act alone, and spend the rest of their life in prison.
I think the most realistic solution is p2p assassination markets built on top of blockchains, like Bitcoin Hivemind. That would avoid centralized organizations for which the leaders/admins are easy to bribe or threaten.
We've already seen what they do to our heroes. Don't be a hero.
