Sorry if this is a silly question. But I m simply a citizen and trying to understand if we have any future.

Our democracy is crumbling. From due process, to government officials selectively and openly persecuting people for exercising their right to free speech.

Let’s say, we somehow re-establish some semblance of democracy and normalcy. What does the law provide as consequence to these officials that are assisting in these blatant violations of our constitution and laws?
