Reich is not suggesting attacking states on the basis of not going along with the Democratic party. Whether or not a truth and reconciliation commission is a good idea or not is entirely irrelevant to this discussion.
Robert Reich served for Clinton and Obama, both times in an economic role, which would have had nothing to do with anything like a truth an reconciliation commission. He has no power that would enable him to implement one now. Again, completely irrelevant.
Now, this is a very simple question, and I have no idea why you are having trouble answering it.
When the Democrats controlled both houses and the presidency, did they use that to attack states that make states that dared go against them pay?
It's a yes or no question. If the answer is yes give examples of how they did so.

How exact and direct would I have to be I wonder? You're assuming the future can only happen if it's already been done exactly as described in the past. Guess man is never going to Mars so forget about that idea.. So much for world peace...
Reich, who worked for Billy and advised Barack, who's backed by Dems like Warren and AOC, etc, wants to make those who were tied to Trump pay. Only the bad ones who helped Trump do bad things of course. Not just people either.
A very simply answer for a very simple question.

You are claiming that Robert Reich wants to make "only the bad ones who helped Trump do bad things" pay. This is not the same thing as making any state who fails to go along with Democratic agenda pay. So, again completely irrelevant.
I am not assuming a thing. I am asking if we have evidence based on the past that they will do this. If there is not, then we can discuss whether there is a reason to believe things will be different this time (and if Reich is the best you've got, then I'm guessing no). But, things have to be taken one step at a time.
As for the question, you would have to be direct enough to actually answer it, which you still haven't done. Instead you're talking about mars, world peace, and claiming I made assumptions that I never made.
It's a yes or no question, so a direct answer would include a yes or a no. If the answer is yes, then it should contain a follow up explaining the exact actions taken. So, if you are interested in engaging in an actual conversation, please demonstrate that by answering. I cannot possibly be any clearer.
Edit: If you're going to post a link, explain why the link is relevant, I'm not going to read any more since this is the second time you've posted something that has nothing to do with punishing states that don't go along with the democratic party.
