| This basically means that assassination is the only way to get Trump out of office if he wins. Assassination wouldn't exactly be a panacea either, since if Trump wins that almost certainly means a bunch of his ghouls are also in power and also will need dealt with.

| Other countries aren't going to be your panacea, most of the people who conservatives want to hurt can't afford to just flee. Americans need to fix America instead of running away from their problems. This is very similar to the rhetoric that people have tried to use against me moving out of my cur... |

| I can't understand where the hate for Nancy Pelosi comes from; it is too bad her husband had to suffer for it. Until Kamala Harris became VP, she was the highest ranking woman in elected office. Conservatives hate women who refuse to be obedient, demure tradwives. That's one of the big reasons they... |
