    So what? If Trump is supposedly going to cause complete global fascism, what’s more important? If he’s truly as dangerous of a threat as people are saying, then anything should be done to prevent him from taking power.

    None of you liberals are even describing Trump as simply a political opponent, you’re describing him as a global menace that will end all history.

      If you are so smart you also understand why historically such people are left alive - making martyrs from iconic people tends to fast-forward things.

      In case you are a accelerationist, this would be ideal.

        No, assassinating Hitler and the rest of the Nazis would have been the correct move to make in 1927. If this is already beyond Trump, if there’s a movement that will be dedicated to him as a martyr, then there should be immediate roundups of anyone with fascist sympathies. Kick down their doors and arrest them.

        This is a serious threat you’re proposing and yet the solution is apparently to continue on as normal and hope an election goes your way. I don’t get it. If this is a giant threat, then an appropriate response is necessary. And the appropriate response is brutally eliminating all of them.

          You are not a time traveler, you have no idea what would have happened. Neither do I.

          I would love nothing more than have Trump locked up, the suits are being processed, and I hope at least one gets him convicted before the elections. Because fuck that guy and sycophants around him.
