    Tell me about all the fascist dictators who have stepped down, because their opposition took the high road and preached love.

      Tell me all about the democracies that were made better because the public decided assassinating the head of state is a perfectly acceptable option. In fact that’s how the vast majority of fascist dictators managed to get power.

      It is not okay to kill people, certainly not in a democracy where you can vote them in or out. I’m a little disappointed I’d even have to say that out loud

          It wasn’t a democracy by the time he started causing trouble. If America stops being a democracy then you can talk about murder. But right now it’s still a democracy or at least democracy democratic representation

          But like I said the left is all about violence hatred bigotry and the like right now. I know in your mind there’s no answer other than I should be allowed to kill orange man because Me no likee.

            Elections in Italy were held until 1934. Mussolini was fine until then or something. China also has elections. As per your logic, they deserve all malfeasance from their state since they voted for it.

            Trump is on borrowed time. The next in line is Vance. Both have been caused upset in global politics.

            I have not made a violent claim against Trump in our interactions. May he live as long as he is capable. He is 80 years old. Vance will not be better for global politics. May the world weather this storm.

            Good luck in Canada. I hope the 51st state rhetoric does not happen. If it does, I hope the conflict doesn’t kill you. I hope you live outside major cities and can avoid the deportations.

            Lastly, anarchist do not lightly say, “No Gods, No Masters”. The state monopoly on violence must be decentralized. Stating the left is violent is like saying water is wet. Who are you trying to antagonize?

          Will the USA does have a representational democracy. I mean no country has a true democracy and you wouldn’t want a true democracy. True democracy is the tyranny of the majority. A true democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.

          But the very idea of a representational democracy is that you can remove the leader and replace them without the need for violence. I guess some people just really like the idea of killing people they don’t like

            This is what happens when conservatives think they’re intelligent.

            You get people smugly saying shit from elementary school social studies textbooks as if they’re some kind of fucking genius.

            A true democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.

            WHOAAAAAAAAA

              We say shit from elementary school social studies textbooks because unfortunately that’s the level that our audience is operating at in your case :)

              Sadly you didn’t understand the basics and you needed to explain to you. Seeing as I don’t actually have a whiteboard handy to help you through it it’s necessary to use simple and easy to understand concepts.

              You still seem confused. Next time I’ll try and incorporate visual aids
