    these crusty old farts need to retire. their dumbass voters keep reelecting them so it looks like it will take retirement or death to get rid of them.

        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.
