Many people have survived being jailed to prevail in their “war”.
Ah, so you support bail reform? Good, good. George Soros will be mailing you a welcome packet shortly, with guidance on which DA’s to vote for.
There are three reasons for punishment. Retribution, protection of the public, and as a warning to others. In this case it was most definitely the last that was first and foremost. Do NOT mess with the democratic process. Or you WILL suffer the consequences. Well, at least the rabble has. One guy is still waiting for his turn in court.
There are very few Republicans, who hold office, that are patriotic these days. Liz Cheney was one of these.Trump and his enablers are describing those imprisoned for their January 6th activities as "hostages".

“It’s a disgrace, and you cannot say you are a member of a party that believes in the rule of law, you cannot say you are pro-law enforcement if you then go out and you say these people are ‘hostages,’ it’s disgraceful,” Cheney added.

...not a peep from Republican leaders.
That’s an interesting approach to politics.
Out of the thousands who were in attendance on Jan 6, they what, just picked a dozen random Trump supporters to unfairly persecute for several years?
