    Giving them concessions because you’re afraid they’ll act badly tells them to act badly when they want concessions.

    The right course of action is to make acting badly (like participating in a coup, or engaging in political violence or threats of it) have painful consequences.

      I have no idea why concessions are still being made to these assholes.

      They’re the political equivalent of the pan handlers you give five dollars to on the way into a gas station. And by the time you walk out they forgot you already gave them money and give you the same story.

      They can get their way 99.99% of the time, but that 0.01% of the time you hold them to the same standard as everyone else, they start screaming they’re being persecuted.

      Fuck em. They act the same no matter what so just don’t give them anything. It’s still the same amount of terroristic threats in the end.

      Whatever happened to not negotiating with terrorists? These people are terrorists. If they break the law, charge them for their crimes.

        They’re all domestic terrorists, they admitted as much at CPAC; I have no idea why anyone is willing to negotiate or even take them at their word.
