How would it feel to know that most Americans are waiting for you to die so we can return to normal?

Would someone close to Clarence Thomas please pass this question on to him ? To Alito ? To Boofboy ? To TFG especially ? To Moscow Mitch ? To Rupert Murdoch ? To the Koch brothers ? To everyone in the Federalist Society ?

If I were protesting in front of the SCOTUS building I think I'd carry a sign that said JUST DIE ALREADY. Those for whom it is intended will know.

Can you imagine giving birth to any of those spawn? Rosemary's Baby comes to mind.

MAybe even enough to destroy the whole democratic election process and find ways to elevate a likeminded minority to perminant power so that your vengance lasts well beyond your passing.

and, yes, a dead Putin would benefit the world but not every shitty thing Trump and the loathsome GOP destroy leads to Putin...the Republican Party and their enablers are detestable on their own...they thrive on hate and they share that hate with the constituents who elect them..they are the party of "anti"..anti-Black/anti-Hispanic/anti-Semitic/anti-women,/anti-LGBTQ/anti-asian/anti-muslim/ anti-Native American/anti-poor/anti-disabled.they own it

there is an afterlife. I'd much prefer to see them tied to a chair watching us spend their money and laughing at them.

Obese and sweaty. I hope he eschews doctors and relies on faith healing. 😆

... they are all supported by millions of voters, and there are plenty waiting to get promoted. Same with Putin, his wars are supported by a full parliament.

You could kill Hitler, but there will always be a Dönitz, Göring and Himmler in line for job. You do not make efficient changes just by killing of the leaders.

You responded to the OP. The OP asked how it would feel to them if they knew people were just waiting for them to die.

But in regard to the point you make, there will always be ignorant, evil people. The point is to not elevate them to the Supreme Court or allow them to accumulate the kind of wealth (and resulting power) Putin dId.

So, we became complacent to the point we forgot (many don't know) what we have to lose.

In 2016, while the right massed forces and all of this was moving forward publicly, too many on the left were tricked into imagining their choice was about which healthcare system we should have and whether they "liked" Hillary or not. And laughed at silly fascistic rallies for a wannbe dictator.

Now, more are starting to realize that we will always have to guard our institutions from those who don't believe in them -- and that a lot of people across the spectrum will follow foolish and/or malignant leaders because they promise to attack our institutions.

Being scared is the beginning of wising up and voting smart to protect our nation.

We're in early primary voting here in Georgia. Primaries are extremely important, but never more than this year's.

Hate has been unleashed and turned into a political platform by a major political party. Even if these assholes all died today, we won't go "back to normal."
