I want someone of prominence

to explain to Donald and Lindsey to their faces that people who were literally lynched.... died. Not metaphorically but literally. Lynching is not a metaphor for mistreatment or torture. It was murder. Has Trump been murdered? If so, seems like we should know.

I wanted someone to say, “so, the president is literally being hung by the neck until he’s dead because of the color of his skin? No? Well then it’s not a lynching in every sense, is it?”

A "witch hunt" generally concluded with the capture and execution by torture of the woman or women deemed to be witches, but that phrase is an acceptable metaphor.

The phrase "witch hunt" is based in the extrajudicial torture and killing of women. Its broader usage is widely accepted, including notably here at DU. As indicated in the cartoon above, it's even funny.
