The problem with all the slap-on-the-wrist sentences for the insurrectionists, and a totally free pass for Trump for inciting it... Is that they are emboldened to try again.

The only lesson they learned from the insurrection is that next time they should bring all their guns. If people don't understand that, they are nuts.

They came within a hair of achieving their goal last time. Why wouldn't they try again?

slap-on-the-wrist sentences for the insurrectionists,

This is the largest group prosecution in the history of the US. Nothing else comes close. It's a conveyor belt of justice sending losers to the federal pen.

and a totally free pass for Trump for inciting it

He was impeached for it and is now indicted for over 90 felonies. Dude will be under house arrest for the rest of his life. They're unrelated but there's a reason why lots of prosecutors are targeting him. Turns out the Justice Department doesn't like it when you try to invade Congress. They took that shit seriously.
