It was your post and I'm completely in agreement. I think a leadership that first uses then undermines this democracy should occupy a special and worse place in hell but they should all be end up in the Hell's fires.My point here is that anyone who advocates violence against one another or our democratic system, 'leader' or not, because they didn't win the election or get their way is committing a crime against the social compact we have all pledged to uphold. If we don't treat it as such we are holding the door open for totalitarianism.
Leaders, sure, but ANYONE who thinks this is acceptable behavior and encourages others to act this way, let alone aids them or commits the acts themselves.
Sorry if this sounds legalistic but I feel it's important to clearly define the boundaries between discourse and discussion- and insurrection.
I hope that @choomer doesn't get upset and think that I was including him in my hopes and wishes. Then again, maybe I am. It's all rhetorical because I'm an atheist. But if there ever were a hell, it was meant to include him and his phony patriots.
