Hell, even if the Republicans had held the convictions they espoused on Jan 7th, we'd be done with his insanity and cruelty...

Call me woke or whatever but im against capital punishment in any instance
Punishment: Cersei Lannister Style Walk of Shame
I think we can find some middle ground between the death penalty and allowing the person to become president again.
Napoleon, anyone?
My middle ground is I believe some crimes deserve the death penalty, but I believe the state should never have the right to execute its citizens.
I generally am as well, but considering the circumstances, I'm willing to make an exception in this case.
I don't want to make martyrs. I want them to grow old and frail watching their legacies crumble and their fortunes taken from them. Death is too quick for fascists.
Just like Mussolini the well know Italian maytr
There is no purpose to a bad person suffering, but I'd be lying if I said would not feel gleeful catharsis if certain powerful people's finger nails were ripped out, their eye's gouged, their balls smashed, their individual teeth crushed and ripped out, their skin then flayed off their bodies, and then their whole bodies set on fire to finish them off.
Sure, but that's exactly why people should not have the authority to decide punishments. Even if I agreed with you in this case, capricious torture would absolutely be used by the people we hate against the people we care about. Our first order of business should be to restore a functional justice system.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
AGreed. If rights aren't applied even to those we hate, they aren't rights, they're privileges.
I think there are definitely instances where a person has done something terrible enough that they should no longer be sharing an earth with the rest of us. Treason that results in hundreds or thousands of deaths (like sabotage, espionage) is one of them, attempting a coup is one of them, really deranged murders are one of them, etc.
Likewise. If we can't treat our enemies with the humanity we would want treated to us then we're not much better than they are. Also aware that making martyrs is never a wise idea.
He could easily be stripped of all possessions and wealth and thrown in prison or exiled till they die a slow meaningless death. That's the best way to deal with them.
