Whatever it takes to get rid of a tyrant. The guy has repeatedly shown that he has no appreciation for the institutions, the unity of the nation, democracy or the election process itself. He will do whatever he can to stay in power. We should make sure he does not succeed.

Strive not too long with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and gaze not too long into the abyss lest the abyss gaze back at you.

Replace the word 'tyrant' with the name of almost any major political player and it remains relevant. The corruption runs far beyond any individual.

I don’t think that any other US political player comes even close to the dangerous rhetoric of Trump. Democrat, Republican, or independent. The attack on the election itself that he started should be the biggest red flag for the citizens that none of his rants are normal.

'Normal' is a state of duplicity where politicians present a veneer of respectability but actually betray their constituents by pursuing their own financial agendas behind the scenes. Trump at least somewhere wears his heart on his sleeve.
