When do we start taking about a new sedition act? Its apparent the zealots want an armed uprising

[beachbum bob]

I think if we throw a few thousand of these zealots into jail....the idea of spending a good deal of time in prison may help....A Sedition act can be pretty clear

[meow2u3]

1. We already have existing sedition laws on the books

relating to rebellion or insurrection, dating back to the aftermath of the Civil War. It's time we dig up these laws and use them against the zealots to stop them before they start another civil war.

2. I believe they were repealed

[meow2u3]

3. Such existing laws have not been repealed. They just haven't been enforced on goopers

6. They want an armed uprising alright

But they want to watch someone else doing it on their 70in 4K TV while they sit on the couch eating popcorn.

7. Just ignore them and let them wallow in their misery. Even better, paint a big red "T" on them.

They aren't going to do a damned thing. They are cowards. They have been exposed for who and what they really are. so shun them. But making them wear that big red "T" on their shirt would be fun.
