I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

    I can’t wait to watch MAGA eat itself when Bonespurs finally has his massive Big Mac Attack. That gang of self-centered opportunists will claw each other to pieces trying to get to the top of the power vacuum.

    The problems we lament are not the result of one man. He has enablers. He has funders. He has defenders. He has judges and congresspeople.

    The idea that our problems will disappear when ONE guy kicks the bucket would be laughable if our situation weren’t so depressing.

    I’m going to be one of those parents. I’m going to share what my 7 year old said at breakfast earlier this week as he looked over my shoulder at the pictures in the newspaper and asked me what the articles were about.

    I forget how it came up, but I mentioned that Trump is very old and might die of old age in less than 4 years. He said:

    I don’t want him to die but I don’t want him to be their ruler anymore.

    I told him he was right and praised him for being able to hold those two ideas in his head at the same time.

    …Personally I’d prefer a single event that resulted in the horrific death of several specific top USA officials due to their own malice/avarice/corruption, but I don’t want him to be too cynical.

    I think it’d be best to be horrific, to shock society into demanding better leadership. I don’t think we’ll be so lucky.

    Manchurian candidate activated. Hahah Just think in terms of domestic abuse or domestic problems. Once Trump’s base realizes that he lied to them, the left wing won’t need to do a thing. The last thing you want to do is be reactionary and create a climate of dangerous leftist mob. Once Trump’s base is angry, just remember these are the individuals with the guns and have been preparing forever. We’re not to the point where we’re at World War 3 completely. Once your kids get drafted, watch all hell break loose. The right wing is repulsive, but just wait. They will be your friendenmies. Most domestic terrorism is created by right-wing ideology. The guy that shot President Trump was a Republican from Pennsylvania. Just remember that. Keep your head on a swivel. Hold tight the American impiralist Empire is falling apart. Trump is accelerating this, which tittolates me.

      The naivety that still people have about authoritarian followers baffles me…

      There is no point at which his base will turn on him.

      There is no action he could perform, no line he could cross, no hardship he could impose that they won’t accept gladly so long as he promises them that “the enemy” suffers more.

      There is no turning back from this point of the fascist take over, I’m not a historian, but I’ve been reading books on how countries fall and there isn’t a single one I can think of (please i’m begging you name one, no snark I honestly don’t want to be right) that have turned back from this precipice, what comes after is blood, famine and war… Maybe we get some sort of stability after, but that’s a crap shoot…

    I spent months imagining what I’d like to do, or see being done to Trump and his lackeys, but I think all of that imagined violence was doing me moral harm.

    So now I like to imagine Tolkien’s giant eagle swooping in to grab them and dump them into Chesapeake Bay.

      You would think the CIA would have done it for us by now, what with Trump singlehandedly destroying US hegemony.

      This is so much of the internet right now. Everyone wants someone else to do the dirty work. Everyone one agrees that the dirty work needs to be done, but no one is willing to do it.

        I don’t have the means to make it happen. I’m the rare American that doesn’t own any weapons. And I’m positive they wouldn’t let me close enough with my baseball bat.

          It’s America. You should be able to buy a rifle / long gun at your nearest Wal-Mart same day. If you want a pistol, you might have to wait for you background check, but that usually only takes a few days. I also hear single-use short-range firearms can be 3d printed.

              Well, some tasks require particular tools. I suppose you could also get a javelin or a bow and arrows. Possibly at Wal-Mart, but more likely specific sports supply or hunting supply stores.

                I’ve said for at least the past 10 years that I need to train as a bow hunter.

                I’m certain the fall of civilization will happen sooner rather than later. I was thinking more of climate disaster… yet, American Civil War has moved into #1.

        IME, that’s life in general. Plenty of people complain more than they work on making things better. That’s definitely me these last few weeks.

        Even when I was being productive, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t doing the “dirty work”.
