It’s blatant extortion now.

    For what? Another will take his place. There’s no shortage of people pushing for project 2025 and supporting his political policies. It’s not just trump.

      Then you do the same to the next one. And the one after that. And the one after that. Until someone gets up there and decides he/she doesn’t want it happening to them too.

      The point isn’t that there’s “going to be another”…that’s just defeatism. The point is to make them realise that they will NEVER be safe. That there are people willing to do anything to see them strung up by their ankles in a town square.

      Courage is contagious.

        It’s not defeatism, at all, it’s the recognition of an ineffective method of resolving things. Real life isn’t a movie where things just work out when you do stupid shit.

          History disagrees with you.

          No despot in history has ever fallen without violence. Hell, your own, country was built on that fact.

          At exactly what point did America go from “the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots” to “this is an ineffective means of resolving things.”?

            Political violence that will make change will be larger scale and organized, not individuals trying to kill a bad president, or two, or three.
