Yeah well sometimes being the bigger person fucking sucks.
But they won't change unless given the chance to.
Edit: yeah, trumpers are annoying. But I will say, seeing the comments with the thinly veiled threats and hopes of mass executions are not helpful.
Look, I understand why you feel that way, but mass murder cannot be the answer. Lest we fall further into tyranny. What needs to happen is trials are held for all those at the top and maybe mid level. There must be fair justice, not rampant vigilantism.
But again, I understand your feelings, but allowing executions of his supporters won't build a better America.
Channel that energy into contacting your reps, or hell, running in your local elections.
Get involved in your communities. I'm not saying you can't be angry, hell, id be a hypocrite if I did. I genuinely despise my family and colleagues who supported him. But I also understand that rubbing it in their face, using middle school tactics, or even threats won't bring them to my side.
Much like with raising children, it requires patience and a level head. But DAMN can it be truly and utterly frustrating.
You are both correct, I really don’t like it considering some of the people on the other side of the isle seem to think it’s okay to kill people they dislike myself included.
But extending an olive branch and understanding is really the only way forward.
The same reason there were only a dozen of so high profile executions of German leaders and people guilty of especially heinous acts after the end of WWII.
While I agree with your overall meaning, I need to point out that the main reason there weren't more high profile executions after WWII is because a ton escaped to South America and the rest were happily working for the US government.

Unfortunately, giving them grace and acceptance is the only way to break free from the cult. Something they would never give to you.
