      yes, well, I was thinking more along the lines of a natural death due to their advanced age and probable health conditions. It’s not really a longshot to say some of those octagenarians may not have a whole lot of time left.

      There is no way this could go down that would not immediately get turned into either a new theory or used as evidence of a theory already in existence.

        This is a pretty simplistic take. The thing is, Republicans enact policies that kill or ruin the lives of MANY people. If one of them dies, I fail to see how that doesn’t leave the world a better place.

        The comment you replied to was specifically hoping for a natural death. Nobody here is suggesting lynching politicians, that’s the behavior of the right wing (jan 6, etc)

        Your comment reads as typical “both sides” bullshit, with a bit of slippery slope fallacy thrown in.

          First of all, the comment said they need to die, rather than retire. That’s a barbaric sentiment.

          His comment reads like a person who understands that the blame doesn’t lie with the individuals who are born into and perpetuate this system, but rather with the system itself. Replacing a Republican with a Democrat is like shining a turd.

      A David Carradine type death would also work. Found with a nose full of blow, a belt around their neck, and their pecker in their hand.
