Certainly diminishing returns on sentence length for deterrence in normal cases. I have no idea if longer sentences for “don’t try and overthrow the government” would track with that
Not people who scream "Trump won!" after sentencing and seem to think Trump will win and pardon them. These people think they're patriots and heroes, not insurrectionists.Certainly diminishing returns on sentence length for deterrence in normal cases.

Prosecution requested 33 years so judge went 1/3 under request.22 years is a long time but a lot of people have been sentenced to much longer for being convicted of less which much less evidence.
Right. That's a better reason for a longer sentence.Prosecution requested 33 years so judge went 1/3 under request.
Longer sentence would keep him from being available to do it again anytime soon.
I don't know man. These people are truly crazy and disconnected from reality. I think it's more likely they see this sentence (and any sentence length really) not being a deterrent but much more likely a reason to rebel again, and harder this time. The sentence should really be about making the rest of us feel that justice (or at least vengeance) has been served.Seems like a good deterrent to not do insurrection.
Well yeah a big part of the hot air being spewed about Trump’s indictments is he can’t get a fair trial in any of these jurisdictions. The place where he did his crimes.It’s very likely the majority of Republican candidates going forward regard these people as political prisoners and heroes. The next Republican president will probably pardon them.
Personally, I think the chances that any of these rank and file offenders get a future pardon, especially from Trump, is slim to none. Pardons are for personal acquaintances, those that havebribedonation money, or those that can potentially implicate others.

Sure, but you can add that to explain anything Republicans do.* to enrich themselves and get their votes.
If he gets there... he made the money to do so.Nah. There will be an outcry from the base to pardon them.
Your quote implies they believe the lies. We know the leadership and... less dumb members know its all bs. They remain lockstep in the lies for their own gain.Sure, but you can add that to explain anything Republicans do.
as an abolitionist, i was being facetiousAs a budding abolitionist, I question the idea that sentence length is a deterrent. I definitely don't think it deters people from taking extreme measures to put politicians in power who will at the very least make sure they're not punished for insurrection.
Not for a "little lite treason"What happened to treason=death?!?!
