We have had enough of that. They will pick up trash on the side of the road, if it is necessary. The skills of bullies and crooks are usually somewhat limited. They can't compete on a level field. My list is hierarchical. I will remove the most destructive elements first. Punishments will fit the crime. Religious conservatives will be forced to live like Christians, for a change. All they have will be given to the poor. I can't force them to FEEL love and Christian charity, but I can sure make them live like it.
Maybe they will glimpse the folly of their ways and be saved. The evangelicals and their ministers, especially the "prosperity gospel" heretics, will finally be forced to stop their pretentious claims to exclusive salvation and experience humility, both a precondition and result of true conversion. The financial criminals will lose all their money and be compelled to spend the rest of their lives working off their debt to society. Unlike them, I do not seek vengeance, retribution or unfair advantage.
It will all be done as humanely as possible, but they will have no choice. The racist southern white boys will serve black and brown people. Mnuchin, Cohn and their clan will clean bathrooms, at least for a while. They use them, don't they? I will not be needlessly mean. The goals are educational, compensatory, rehabilitative and reconstructive, not punitive, but their arrogance and sense of entitlement seem profound. It will take a lot to break through. They must see that other people actually matter.
