America needs another round of McCarthy hearings, only this time against anyone suspected of wanting to destroy American democracy. Haul them before courts, Musk, Thiel, Yarvin, Flynn, Trump, Bannon, Vance, all those talking heads who took Russian money, and the spies who gave ot to them. They all need to be hauled before a court and tried very publicly - and sent to jail in order to fix the distrust of government.

The problem is we have more Jan 6th "restore democracy" people than we have anti-FPTP "establish democracy" people. Trump has made bad voting reform a major part of his platform.

You're not wrong, but the political climate will need to improve tremendously before McCarthyesque hearings can be a force for good.
