    The one thing I know in my heart and in my soul is these guys will fuck something up so badly that their own base will demand they be torn to shreds before these 4 years are up.

      As he said, many years ago now, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”

      These people do not care about rules, they do not care about law, they do not care what is good for them and those they care about. They care about owning the dems.

        Owning the dems, to the oligarchs themselves, is merely a means to an end. They say it because the base loves it. That’s all.

          The part of the country that didn’t like fascists hanged him after Allied troops landed in Italy and the country had a civil war

          The fascists didn’t hang him. They didn’t change their minds about what happened.

          People fucking shot them in the face for being fascists until there weren’t enough goons left to protect him.

          And then a communist hanged him.

            I don’t want you to be right, but I know you probably are.

            This would be easier to deal with if I didn’t have to worry about my families fate too

              The only recorded instance of which I can think of someone who was even slightly pro-fascism taking out a fascist is literally Hitler… he killed himself, but only because the Red Army was already inside Berlin and looking for him.
