The goal is not to shame the administration, it's to point out to the "This is just normal politics" fence-sitters that no, it's fucking not.

That was kind of the point of my comment. Like it's mafia organized crime style now...

Good intentions don't change heartless people.

It seems only someone or something that can exceed their heartlessness could defeat them. And it's like a mind bending hopeful paradox of the possibility that something heartless could be for good... Like the atomic bomb.

If you have ever dealt with real criminals... There is no such thing as "no". The issues are alive until death, and even after death vengeance still carries on.

Again, this is not aimed at the administration

It's aimed at voters who might otherwise sit out.

lol

This guy thinks he's getting a vote

I mean, I'm not entirely disagreeing with your cynicism here, but my point is that the intention of this message is towards voters.

And, for that matter, the same electorate that votes is the same that, potentially, revolts. Though I wouldn't put my hopes high there either.

I know I'm responding to a post weeks afterwards but I'd actually argue it is normal politics. I feel like this kind of shit has always been done here or overseas.

I really want to emphasize I don't mean that dismissively though. This country and the world at large need to have more understanding. It's normal politics, but it's fucking evil and it's something worth talking about and fighting against.
