I wish he would have an aneurysm.

Except he likely wouldn't realize that happened.

A freak elevator incident chopping him in half would be the appropriate level of karma for this monster.

I live in Texas, and have been trying to start a movement among my friends to vote in Republican primaries en masse. Texas has open primaries, so we can pick whichever one we want to vote in. In a state where the Republican seems to always win statewide, having a less crazy Republican on the ballot might be the best we can hope for

Get a democrat to run as a republican. If Fetterman can do it, anyone can.

About political violence? No, I don't think I will.

Nothing wrong with me; I understand the situation

Advocating murder absolutely brings you below the level of this horrible human being and works to validate violence on the right. Your cowardice is a shameful stain on the community.

You do not understand the situation you are in.

He needs to be killed. Period. There is no other reasonable solution for dispensing of evil. He will not be "voted" away.

Yeah for real. Ever heard of fucking opsec? SMH some people amirite Hominine?

No, I've served and it has nothing to do with that. Thankfully advocating for violence isn't allowed on Lemmy; take it to one of the right's fascist holes where it belongs.

This mother fucker should have been in jail two or three years ago. What an indictment of our system of government that he and Abbott are in power.
