I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

Here's the thing. Trump is just a poster boy. The real problems will continue long after he's dead. There will be further assholes. Trump is a puppet. The string puller will last on.

We need to address the core root, not the symptoms.

Democrats ptui are paid just enough to be the ineffective token opposition and effective collaborators to the Rich 1%

The whole two party system needs to be replaced.

It's absolutely nowhere in the Constitution, but for whatever reason (money!) it's persisted.

The Greens had a little going in the early 2000s but made the mistake of going national before establishing a base in local and state legislatures.

Instead the Greens were branded as "spoilers" for handing Dubya Bush the presidency, and failed to gain traction since.

The problems we lament are not the result of one man. He has enablers. He has funders. He has defenders. He has judges and congresspeople.

The idea that our problems will disappear when ONE guy kicks the bucket would be laughable if our situation weren't so depressing.

I'm going to be one of those parents. I'm going to share what my 7 year old said at breakfast earlier this week as he looked over my shoulder at the pictures in the newspaper and asked me what the articles were about.

I forget how it came up, but I mentioned that Trump is very old and might die of old age in less than 4 years. He said:

I don't want him to die but I don't want him to be their ruler anymore.

I told him he was right and praised him for being able to hold those two ideas in his head at the same time.

...Personally I'd prefer a single event that resulted in the horrific death of several specific top USA officials due to their own malice/avarice/corruption, but I don't want him to be too cynical.

I think it'd be best to be horrific, to shock society into demanding better leadership. I don't think we'll be so lucky.
