You and I both understand the subtext in the language used by these people.

They can't say "Go be violent hillbillies."

They can say "Get wild, gonna be wild etc"

"Trial by combat"

"We cannot be weak, we must be strong"

"The radical, left-wing socialists who hate your freedoms"

Are Mo Brooks, Trump, Giuliani, Don Jr., etc. legally culpable? I'm worried the answer is, technically, no. If one of the only other ways of dealing with this is social castigation/estrangement from fellow republicans? That's not exactly happening fast enough for me to feel comfortable with things.

Lindsey Graham was on Hannity on Friday night raising questions about Hunter Biden. Like that's what we should focus on right now? Go fuck yourself, Lindsey.

Impeachment, disbarment, state and where appropriate federal level charges for the obvious crimes would be a good start.
