when one expresses their desire and intent to use the government as a weapon against their political enemies, they are no longer interested in democracy and are traitors............
I suspect that such would very much be dependent on the nature of the aforementioned "political enemies."
When the political enemies are insurrectionists against a government, defending itself becomes one of the prime governmental functions.
Our government provides for free elections.
The insurrectionists not only refuse to accept the election results
but also engage in voter suppression tactics.
In such instance, it's incumbent on the government to not only crush the insurrection
but to do so in the most Draconian, physically excruciating way possible,
this for purposes of deterrence.
I'm the benign voice in this dynamic.
I'm calling for humane euthanasia.
Gratitude is the only appropriate response from the like of you, STY.
