      It’s a nice thought, but there’s no way. We here in the US didn’t even kill the leaders of the Confederacy after the civil war, and those fuckers got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed in their treason.

      The reason why cancel culture is so big here is that, often, getting someone canceled is the only meaningful recourse for being a piece of shit.

        Have you considered doing the right thing for once? Then as the real alpha move, stick with doing the right thing.

          No one who would do the right thing is allowed within sniffing distance of the presidency.

          The two ruling parties think it’s bad enough that a Democratic Socialist is running the world’s fifth-largest economy in New York, and are no doubt scheming up administrative hurdles to ensure it never happens again once Zohran’s out of power, same as they did after Ross Perot got so close to the presidency in the 90’s.

        They don’t really care for “rules” or “laws” unless they can use them to oppress people anyway
