    In Rome, and other empires, when an Emperor was this egregiously bad, they would not only forcibly depose him, but also tear down all of his statues, works, scratch out his name from documents and dedications, and consign his memory to the garbage bin of history.

    For all of their faults, they appeared to have far more courage than our current populations.

      This.

      We’re going to go down in history as pathetic. That’ll be our legacy through time.

      I’m never one to condone the death of people very much, but I wish nothing more than for Trump to die on camera like when Charlie Kirk got shot. I want the world to be able to watch, rewind, and watch again. I don’t need him to die slowly in hospital, I want there to be absolutely zero chance the right could pretend 8.5 billion people didn’t watch him bleed out on a sidewalk.

        I actually am hoping more for a Khaddafi or Mussolini type of death. I want a huge mob with “rude implements” in their hands to bludgeon him to death on the steps of the Senate. I would consider that to be most appropriate. Equally appropriate would then be mobs hunting down his administration, enablers, donors, influencers, and some followers. Make it brutal, crude, painful, and bloody. Make the memory of it last two thousand years. Make it so crushingly final that the rest of his idiotic followers will weep for their fallen God in the throes of oppression which follows for all those generations.

        And I haven’t even yet begun to express my utter revulsion and loathing for him and his followers.

        I’m hoping for a massive stroke where he leaves a giant pile of diarrhea shit where he collapses, and then he doesn’t die but ends up drooling in a hospital bed with an IV for a year or two.
