I was struck by the attitude of this woman (as linked by Insty), who feels that Trump supporters should be put in a large room, like a gas chamber. (She doesn’t actually advocate dropping the Zyklon-B crystals, of course; she just wants to see Trump supporters wail and grovel.)
Of course, she’s living in some benighted delusion, unencumbered by the reality of what she’s suggesting. It’s actually laughable, for all the right reasons:
- That’s a big-ass room she’s talking about. Even something the size of, say, Madison Square Garden would only hold about 25,000 people — of approximately 60 million Trump supporters. I suppose she’d want to round up Trump supporters on a piecemeal basis, which leads us to:
- Who is the “we” she’s talking about? Who, exactly, is going to do the rounding up? The police? The Army? Has she considered the possibility that Trump’s support among these agencies might make them reluctant to go to a Trump-supporting household and politely ask us to go on a little one-way journey? Of course, that reluctance may also manifest itself in fear for their lives, because of the next point.
- We Trump supporters, by and large, may constitute the single-largest group of armed civilians on the planet, and would probably decline the offer of a trip to MSG from some ill-defined Totenkopf agents.
- Clearly, some kind of universal disarmament program must first be enacted, which in itself would be somewhat interesting.
Really, what she wants to see is Trump supporters cower in fear. I wonder if she’s ever considered that we, as a group, are not especially fearful people?
So here’s my simple suggestion.
Even for someone as deluded as this AWFL, some testing needs to be done first, to ascertain the feasibility of what she’s advocating — a sample study, if you will. Let’s see how disarmament and deportation to Madison Square Garden works out for them.
I will quite happily sign on to be one of the sample group. In other words: start with me, bitch.
Of course, what her little tirade shows is the actual depth of hatred these people have for us conservatives. Fine: let them hate away all they want. But she and all her little cohorts need to understand that hatred alone will not be sufficient to enact what she’s suggesting.
But reality was never a strong suit of leftism, anyway.
