    The infrastructure for democracy is already there. It’s just been shelved temporarily by the current admin.

      Ideological assassinations are a huge step in the wrong direction. Once you open the door to violence in place of speech and exchange of ideas, it’s a bad place. Everyone should condemn this. Do you honestly believe it’s a good idea to start killing people? Who is next? It’s not always going to be people you disagree with, and ANY murders need to be condemned.

        This is just the trolley problem. If you can save 5 people by killing 1, is it correct to do so, or take no action?

        Well, we’ve got lots of people taking no action, and look where that’s got us.

          You don’t get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn’t some complicated ethical dilemma.
