Truth.

I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

Here's the thing. Trump is just a poster boy. The real problems will continue long after he's dead. There will be further assholes. Trump is a puppet. The string puller will last on.
We need to address the core root, not the symptoms.
- Both. Let's address both. Like a proper system of healthcare would.
- It's become very apparent that the puppet poster-boy is a very critical piece to the puzzle, and for some fucking reason, he's an effective one.
- The rot will definitely still be there, but the power vacuum Trump will leave behind is going to massive. Not only that, but a lot of Republicans are just spineless opportunists and not hardcore ideologues, and they may see it as an opportunity to push back against the nutjobs who have taken over the party.
- I don't disagree, but Trump is definitely a unifying figure for MAGA. Hopefully when he's gone there will be in-fighting among different MAGA factions trying to enact their own agendas and will cause fragmentation and irrelevance for many of them.
  
  I can see that. Vance will be one. DeSantos will be another. Musk might even get in on it.
  If I were Hillary Clinton, I'd just troll them, and run as a republican.
  
  Remember that Hillary and Bill told Trump to run, believing he would be easy to defeat. They donated to his campaign in 2016
- I agree. I think Trump’s real purpose is to just take the heat for a lot of unpopular policies and he’s just too dumb and narcissistic to realize it.
  It will be interesting to see how MAGA changes after he’s gone.
- If that's true, that's okay. You just get rid of puppets until they run out.
  
  Not a viable long term strategy unfortunately. European anarchist found that out the hard way
  
  which ones did they get rid of?
  
  A lot, but notable political figures are Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Tsar Alexander II, Sadi Carnot (president of France), Antonio Cánovas del Castillo (Spanish prime minister), Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, King Umberto of Italy, U.S. President William Mckinley (anarchism debated here), King Carlos I of Portugal, Spanish Prime Minister Josè Canalejas, and King George I of Greece. All within roughly 60 years. They also killed plenty of unnamed bourgeois throughout the years.
  
  those are not even from the same country. it's unrelated incidents.
  
  Also, these are all able to be traced back to anarchist movements? This is the first I'm ever hearing that.
  
  Not all, but some.
  I wouldn't call any of them a puppet of a string puller who would just install the next, even if we'd say the puppeteer is an elite group. But it's a question of definition where a shadow government ends and a regular political party starts.
  
  That's my point- they're claiming all of them are anarchy motivated, but that's patently false.
- He is like a pustule. The disease is underneath and around the area but squeezing it empty will be a huge relief and afterward the healing will accelerate
