      Passing new laws, setting up DOJ task forces, revoking tax exempt status from participating “churches”, actually arresting conservatives who threaten people with guns…

      The bar is in hell.

        Passing new laws

        We can’t do that. This is something left up to the legislatures, which are stacked with do-nothing Dems and fascist Repubs.

        setting up DOJ task forces

        That’s something only the AG can do, and Merrick Garland doesn’t seem interested.

        revoking tax exempt status from participating “churches”

        A job for the legislatures and the courts. Again, completely outside our control.

        actually arresting conservatives

        A job for the police. And it should go without saying that “Some of those who work forces…”

        The bar is in hell.

        I don’t think Americans really understand what their role is in a civil society. All we know how to do is to subcontract and outsource to someone else and hope it gets done.
