Only the top Nazis and the most egregious underbosses. Hundreds of thousands of former SS, waffen SS and Gestapo officers went through the denazification process for a few months, during which they underwent a kind of reverse brainwashing - which also served as a probationary period to make sure they weren't ultra-Nazis trying to hide their true feelings - then they got reabsorbed into German civilian society.
Other German-occupied countries went through the same process. France for example, had roughly half a million civil servants who previously worked for the Vichy regime - some of them having done some pretty unsavory things.
It's one of the great untold shameful stories of those countries, that everybody at the time swept under the rug because they - understandably - desperately wanted to move on, and also because, like it or not, the countries simply couldn't function without rehabillating those disgusting people and their former skills.
Sounds like we should have gone harder. Maybe this time we will.
Though I would probably be pretty happy to see like trump and Mike Johnson convicted and executed by firing squad, even if a bunch of others escaped.
Trump will probably die of old age, sadly. Vance might get to be tried though, if he takes over the regime.
But they won't be shot. They'll be hanged. Execution by firing squad is a military "distinction" - at least when it's carried out as part of a lawful sentencing process - and it's considered one notch above hanging, which is reserved for common criminals and is applied to particularly disgusting characters as a mark of shame.
That's why a lot of Nazis were hung rather than shot. I don't think we'll think of high-ranking MAGA officials as worthy of a firing squad.
I didn't know that. I just read on Wikipedia
which is interesting and aligns with what you said
Insult to injury. Soothes the sense of justice to imagine the humiliation and anger nazis could have felt when taken to the gallows
I would be fine with a firing squad for every single neoconfederate, if it meant every single neoconfederate. Best for the bastards to be quickly removed from society enmasse, so that decent people can get on with rebuilding society without them.
As an ordinary dude, the only real difference I see with hanging and bullets is how much time and suffering leads to the final result. I have better things to do, such as working a job that a neoconfederate can no longer fill.
I voted they should be creatively hanged
Combine it with a trebuchet and Wile E Coyote the bastards.
