We don't need this vile tool, and it is extremely important that we not leave it functional for others to use, against us or against anyone.

Attacking the country to which you owe allegiance is a well-understood crime with normative punishments that we have used in living memory. We already have all the carceral tools we need to resolve this.

If this isn't fought, there will be no opponents left in the next election. See Turkey.
No. These people need to be put on trial, not given summary justice. We managed to hold trials for top-level Nazis, we can do it here.
