    It’s extra funny cuz I regularly see liberals yearning for the death of regular republican voters. I’ve seen r/neolib poster fantasize about “culling the redneck population of middle America” in a civil war.

    So, you’re down to slaughter ground level Trump supporters but the idea of their dear leader choking to death upsets you? That’d be like if I jerked it to the idea of running over a regular Wehrmacht soldier with a T34 (which I do actually) but was AGAST at the idea of someone sniping Hitler.

    Do any lurker Libs wanna explain this weird double standard to me?

      I think it just gets too personal for them. A million is a statistic.

      Or maybe it’s a different set of rules diluted from or diluted into what we see in media today. The villain gets a chance at redemption while the faceless mooks just fall down and dispose of themselves.

      But with a single figure like trump, it’s personal connection and the chance to be the bigger person. Just prove him wrong and you can change the world without a big disruption of the status quo.

      Can’t have one of your betters die off, just put more faceless people into the meat grinder.
