Today it's MAGA supporters, tomorrow it's moderates and then it continues to move the left and the right. The article mentions identifying him by that very means and frankly? That's not a very good place to be.

We should all remember Martin Niemöller's quote - First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

But politics...

Civil charges probably wouldn’t result in loss of pension and medical benefits, but a courts-martial could.

Yeah, the hand cuffs means attempted sedition. Unless he picked them up as he claimed. Lots of video, they will get to the bottom of that one.
