I appreciate the sentiment, and that was very eloquent, but this fucking criminal shouldn't be treated like an errant child. He's an adult and should face the full force of justice as a cognisant adult that has repeatedly and unrepentantly committed heinous crimes. Fuck him.
Yes. Joking aside, he absolutely should be punished. But fascism wilts in the face of ridicule; the one thing they cannot abide is people not taking them seriously. The only time the Harris campaign ever made any headway was when Walz was calling the GOP "weird," and the repeated attacks & threats against late night show hosts prove that they just can't handle it.
In this case, I got the idea (and even some of the language) from a video content creator who goes by "mrs.frazzled." Her stuff points out how profoundly unserious these people are, even though their actions have serious consequences and they desperately need to feel important.
I know I'm not exactly writing Uncle Tom's Cabin here, and I wouldn't claim that this is some meaningful resistance. Just wanted to explain.
