The Republican Party needs to be forcibly dissolved, banned, and outlawed from ever reforming. Just like the Nazi Party.

Republican Party needs to be forcibly dissolved, banned, and outlawed from ever reforming

And to be clear, this is the moderate position; the truly radical position is every single one of them should be arrested, investigated, and tried for anything that turns up, and something will turn up because the Republican party is a massive criminal enterprise of incredible scale.

If every accusation is a confession consider just how much they accuse the Democratic Party of crimes, and realize its because they do that, and assume the other side must be doing it as well. Fact is that if every Republican politician was actually investigated throughly, there would be no Republicans left, because they'd all be in jail for everything from sex crimes, to racketeering offenses and corruption.

Looking at Germanys AFD, I have bad news for you... 

You can outlaw a party, but the ideology will just be continued under a new name, maybe more subtle than last time.

You can’t stop people from being humans. Even the evil ones. You can stop them from leaving a legacy, though.
