A minority of Trump supporters who are vocal and persistent give him the impression that "the people" support a nuclear strike on North Korea. They need to sit this one out and let cooler heads find the solution.

Them, and every Republican politician who has supported, enabled, turned a blind eye, ect. And the pundits who, instead of talking non-stop about Trump's Russia ties and criminal dealings, talked non-stop about the non-issue of Hillary Clinton's stupid fucking e-mails. And the electors who ignored millions of letters from We the People and put this man in the White House-putting us and our country and the world at risk of annihilation.

Without hesitation. They love this small-cock-compensating big talk from THEIR prez. They give him their tribal energy at those bullshit rallies, and he feeds off of it.

It's on them, and the silent Republicans who've allowed this insanity to rattle onward.

Trump voters, supporters and his enablers on the left.

With regards to the enablers, If it happens I hope the last thought that goes through their heads is how stupid they were to not vote for Hillary because they considered her not left enough.

I suspect some of Trump's MAGA voters and base are salivating for him to "nuke" N. Korea, which I also suspect they could not identify on a map of the world.

The people stupid enough to listen to alt-right media are idiots. Do I hold them responsible? Without a doubt I hold them responsible for being lazy minded, gullible, magical thinking, devolved human beings, and having followed that path are resposible for their actions.

Are they at fault for opening the door and handing that power to Trump? Yes, but they had the right to vote for him and that is not a crime, even if it was a stupid decision.

In the event that there should be a nuke and the consequences to follow, I would want the focus of criticism to be squarely upon Trump and cabinet. Keep our legal interests on those who collectively orchestrated any such launch, not on people who voted at the ballot box but never had any real say (either way) about a missile launch. It'd just be a distraction.

I have no other description available. I have fired all Trump supporters in my company and have absolutely zero tolerance for anyone who is Republican or non-progressive. That is the only way our planet will survive. Please note I am not threatening them physically, just politically and economically. THEY are the ones who threaten physically, like Trump rattling like a 3-year-old toddler.
