    This isn’t helping though. We’ve actually been very fortunate so far that the pro-fascism candidate has been such an incoherent idiot.

    Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Attacking him physically like this only makes our problems worse.

      Then again, would they find a successor as easily? After all, trump has a personality cult around him. Sure, the rational people don’t like him, but do they have to?

        I don’t think they would have any trouble. De Santis already tried, and probably would’ve succeeded if Trump hadn’t ran again.

        It’s not so easy to destroy a dead man.

        The Peronists in Argentina are still successful 50 years after Juan Peron’s death in 1974.

        Yeah I know, you’re not the type to advocate for violence. It was just a good comment for me to post under.
