    dehumanizing people is the first step on the road to genocide.

    if you could click your fingers and everyone who voted Trump died, regardless of how they now feel about it, would you do it?

      I gave this some thought.

      Yes, I would do that.

      Do you know how many problems that would solve middle and long-term? Yes, there would be short-term disruptions… a lot of short-term disruptions.

      A huge chunk of the problem billionaires would be gone- literally all of the billionaires who own the major media outlets in the US would be gone. The Republican party would cease to exist instantly. There would be a precipitous drop in the number of the belligerently stupid and easily manipulated.

      I did not dehumanize them. they did. I’m pissed about it.

      every one? I dunno. I don’t value human life very much, so maybe, but im certain a lot of them were just sloppy idiots with zero forethought, I expect not even a majority were to the point they were unrecoverable. every qanon? yes.
