Seriously though… It was argued that, yes, a president can eliminate political opponents with impunity. I surely will be mistaken here, but if Biden wanted to, he could take out trump, and the entire top of the Maga movement and he would be untouchable.
It would circle into a civil war, probably, but the Maga crowd would get exactly what they wanted, just the other way around.
On a slightly less funny interpretation of this: so it seems that trump has calmed down the “kill the opponents” rhetoric after his victory, but many of his crowd haven’t. I seriously worry for political opponents, journalists and comedians in the US as soon as trump and his cronies rise to power. I seriously expect many to go to jail, and some, indeed, to just disappear or get the good ol’ “walked too close to a window” treatment.
So I’m actually wondering if Biden should just take out trump, just for self defense because there is an actual non zero chance that trump and cronies will get their revenge on Biden and Kamela.
