    The problem is not Trump, the problem is the people voting for him. Trump should be stopped through educated and informed voting, that’s how democracy works.

    Unfortunately the US is not known for its education and good unbiased information. But that is the underlying problem that needs to be fixed, and shooting Trump does nothing to fix that and will only serve to replace Trump with someone equally bad (or even worse).

        What a way to deliberately misread what I am saying. Obviously not and I won’t waste time on such a purposeful bad faith reading of what I said.

      Is that how democracy worked when Sankara needed to go? When Hussein needed to go? When Gaddafi needed to go? When Libya, the once single most prosperous nation on the Motherland, needed to be flattened and turned into a hub for the trade of chattel slaves? I spit on your hand-hiding.

        libs don’t care about democracy abroad. It doesn’t count as democracy if it oppises US economic interests

        Why do you list these three, they didn’t govern under democracies? Saddam wasn’t operating under a democracy at all, besides a couple of fake elections. Gaddafi had some elements of a democracy, but most power was in his hands with no way to vote him out. Sankara rule started in a coup (or revolution if that’s how you want it) and was ended in a coup when he was assassinated.

          Deliberate. It’s because nobody in the west is a ‘democracy’ either. Amerika, Britain, Germany, every peckerwood nation attached to NATO or the FIVE-EYES alliance, all oligarchies and vassals to capital; several undergoing transformation into kleptocracies, plutocracies, and blatant kyriarchies. Y’all just murder any world leader who you either have racist tendencies against, or tells you no, and I spit on it. You belong to no democracy. You are no democrat.
