Less of a snake and more a hydra. Trump needs to be dealt with, but more evil will pop up in his place. You need to get the team to eliminate the lot of them and not just the leader.
Needs full-blown German de-nazification at this point, outlawing fascist icons and slogans too.
And no letting Nazis escape into the shadows and only barely punishing the powerful ones. Every single one needs to be dealt with from the top to the very bottom including any crumbs that try and escape.
Yes, but if you chop off a hydra's head, two more will grow in its place. That's a good thing, because with today's GOP, those two heads will immediately start snapping at each-other and start ignoring everything else.
The current hydra's head may be droopy, and its brain may be filled with lesions and lead. But, it's able to focus on other things, at least for a bit, and direct its body to fight them. As soon as that head is gone, the other heads will probably tear the body apart as they fight each-other.
The head is not just the eyeball. I have a very long list, but I would settle for the VP, the cabinet, all of Congress, and six Supreme Court justices. If I had my druthers, the list would probably have 40M assholes on it in just the U.S. There are a bunch more globally.
