    An alliance of a dozen countries completely crushed the Nazi war machine.

    Which isn’t relevant.

    You’re strongly implying shooting someone (anyone?) in the US federal government will stop the rapidly increasing fascism. It won’t. It will be a casus belli to double down on fascism.

    So go pound sand.

      The casus belli argument might be meaningful if they weren’t already bellicose, and actively pursuing violence. So go hide in a corner.

      that said, I don’t advocate violence yet (until, perhaps, an actual dictatorship is established and election terms are violated). It’s still a situation that has potential to be resolved internally, with law, come the elections this year - if there’s meaningful action by the representation.

      However, if someone loses their shit, I argue that they should do their homework and go for the most dire of lawbreakers first.
