    Maybe.

    I’d doubt it.

    The US, historically, isn’t particularly good at holding people accountable. I would like to think that we’ll go full post-WWII France and prosecute (and hang) tens of thousands of these bastards, but more likely we’ll get a conciliatory Obama type who says some dumb shit like: “We need to move on as a country,” and moving on means letting the American Nazis go, just like how no one involved in engineering the illegal invasion of Iraq and the fake WMD’s ever got meaningfully held accountable. (And one was awarded a Medal of Freedom.)

      It’s really just legislators getting content in for their socials.

      It’s the Mamdanis and Platners and Khannas of the world who have the balls to do something real, and they are far too few and no way in hell any of them ever sniff the presidency.
