"The same patterns that destabilize families destabilize democracies."

Basically take care of your mental health, don’t get caught up in a cycle of despair. Focus on what you can do to make a difference and not worry too much about the things you cannot control.

      It’s oddly comforting to buy into the idea that killing one man could solve the world’s problems but it’s not reality. Trump is just a fall guy at this point. He has very little remaining mental facilities. He’s a husk. And his absence will only be mourned by his cultish followers.

      The GOP are totally cashing in on this. They are the real villains here and are just using Trump to get their way. If he dies, they will toss some other obedient dumbass on the pile and continue.

      Luigi got a conversation going and scared rich assholes by pointing out they are literally living in the same hell they built themselves, surrounded by all those tortured souls. But Luigi is not some kind of Jason Bourne. He’s not going to take out the Republican party. No one person can do that.

      That being said, we do technically outnumber them. And while distasteful everyone does technically get one chance to murder whoever they want. There are consequences sure but at this point there are consequences for waiting for another Luigi that may never come too.

      Personally, I’d like to see another attempt just to have everyone argue over wether it was another political stunt or not.

        That’s the key: keep em scared. One dude getting killed prevents that one dude from making any more problems, but more importantly it sends a message to the next dude.

        If we tolerate oppression, we’ll be oppressed. If oppressors are consistently dropped, their would-be replacements will see the pattern and act in a way that preserves their life.
