A lot of folks on both sides would like to see the other side “punished” in some way.

The left would love to see the power of the state brought to bear to punish, incarcerate, and kill their ideological opponents.

On the right, we’re a bit more independent and individualistic, and some would like to inflict the punishment themselves.

"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."
                   -- Jefferson Davis Pres. CSA

So would the "right", no doubt about it. Just read the FR abortion threads.

America is a bit short on liberty-minded citizens these days. Everybody is obsessed with security.
