Yes I agree. Trump made it clear beforehand he wouldn't accept the outcome of the election if he lost, and tried to overturn the result through the courts, then through a violent attack on the Capitol.

"the idea of another president Dem or Rep doing the same is too much of a threat if people are not punished"

Agreed but you have to fight fire with fire. The Dems should be partisan !
If the Trump GOP are prepared for a war against democracy, are prepared to blow up the constitution and the law, are prepared to overrun the Capital, hang Mike Pence and seize power in a coup then urgent and extraordinary measures need to be taken !
There needs to be extreme urgency !
There is a war brewing and one side is armed and ready with no limits or mercy, the other side is dithering around with committees !

I advocate a more reasoned aproach, fighting fire with fire just keeps the fire burning.

The American people, particularly Trump supports need to see that Trump was using grifting his supporters, lying and and trying to hold on to power by criminal means.

Trumps lies has lead to people falsely believing that the elections are not secure and that has them thinking democracy is not working, Trump needs to be exposed for doing that to restore faith in the elections and democracy
