I mean…it sucks to envision phantom insan-o scenarios, but given three years ago I didn’t think we’d be in this one, I’d say yes: If my other choice was a candidate who literally promised day one nuclear war, then I’d be terrified into the choice of voting for Trump. I’d be appalled that those are the choices we’re built to, and would actively seek retribution on everyone involved in those primaries, though.
Gentle reminder that their main concern is not having enough targets to rape.
The fallacy above is the Tolerance of Intolerance. Democrats, up until this presidency, generally respected the rule of law. There has been nothing close in any of their behavior.
When the “other” is an identity formed through place of birth, race, or cultural upbringing, I agree that extermination is a horrific thing that serves as a warning bell. But when the “other” is an intentional ideology formed through mature, conscious decision as a functioning adult, especially when it originates from boundless hatred, I don’t see any particular issue in full, total extermination of its source.
If I had a nickle for everytime articles of impeachment came up during this administration, I’d have a lot of money - but I still wouldn’t be able to get myself a double double, because the price has inflated the whole time.
I know it’s not popular, but this is how I view it too. To be clear: There is no reason - none - for the Republican party to exist. I almost think some major Democrats might fund them just so that they can have a clear “You gotta vote for us, or you get these lunatics” vibe.
They do nothing for any part of America, and I am personally disappointed in every single individual allegedly-sane allegedly-human consciously voting for them. In a sane world, they would get zero votes anywhere, and I am not okay with a handwave of “yea but you’ll never get Joe Redneck in Montana to vote against them”.
When the vote is 100% democrat, then some intense primarying can happen, fracturing the party into people who actually DO want to help the country. We all know there are at least some of those in the party.
