    I’m not ready to encourage this because anybody can get pissed off for any reason. There is very little that a politician does that makes everybody happy.

      Forget about pleasing everybody. How about having policies that please >50% of people? With no gerrymandering or electoral college

      As if “happy” is the metric.

      There was a failed coup. You have to have a line.

      Remember: Hitler was not a fictional character. Sometimes, you get Hitler. If you want to wag a finger at the many people who tried to kill Hitler, then by all means, scoff at the idea of anyone ever using violence. Otherwise we have to reason about it.
