You just told him he needs to go, so that means either you decided on some very poor choice of words that implies you're telling the poster to, get out, or that you just meant they should step away a bit from the screen because you think they're too angry.
However, implying that insurrection domestic terrorists getting what they deserved, is somehow equivalent to the issues we've been experiencing for these past years, and frankly, forever, you are severely mistaken and should reflect on this more.
25th was written to address cases where the President is incapacitated due to health reasons, and might not hold up when used in this manner. Impeachment is the actual Constitutional remedy for a President being a threat to the Republic.
God damn it, we're supposed to be talking about me and how great I am and how much you like my state now for the first time ever! This sucks.
The dynamic you describe is interesting, extremism is more taboo so we import your extremists.
I am of Russian heritage (mother is 100%), and my parents don't have any specific hate for communism, in fact ideologically they like it, but are realistic about its practical failings (obviously my mother lived through those difficulties). Neither of my parents like Trump. Your perspective is probably fairly unique in that regard to heritage, and its impact on perception (like your parents reverence for Trump).
Shit, I would probably take lawful evil, over chaotic evil at this point (not that ideally some lawful good isn't hoped for). The failure of our democracy and the current state of affairs is draining.
I guess that's the basis for impeaching him, but I'm not sure how you would prove culpability based on tweets. Don't get me wrong, morally and ethically he should be kicked out, I am uncertain whether our legal system would fulfill that.
We're all being hard on the poster, and for good reason, but they are providing us with a look at what the public is going to be thinking going forward. Polling will show the public wants Democrats to work with Republicans and they will blame both sides for the state of things equally.
And Republicans will work that to their advantage so Democrats better come up with some A plus messaging.

Rioter who was shot has been identified. Was a vet.
thx. but impeachment should be the right instrument here right?
I love these two. Wonderful people!
But man, it broke my heart when she started crying... 💔😢
At first, she started laughing because of the blunt truth he was speaking.
Then crying for him actually understanding her pain and speaking up.
Fuck, I laughed and then got teary-eyed, man...

I'd say -- false equivalency in 2016 is literally what got us into this mess. from "but her emails" bullshit to every handwaving tactic to excuse the GOP's attempts to disassemble our democracy. This is not the time to equate people being frustrated over being oppressed and marginalized with people who are scared they might lose their privilege.
It's an attempted coup, the fuck do you think would happen? It's okay though everyone else got to go home, despite you know attempting a fucking coup.
Sad but true. Already seeing both sides bullshit on social media
Just remembered how strongly Colbert reacted to Trump debasing democracy by calling the count into question. His reaction tonight should be something else
Fucking vexxing to see this shit going on in the USA in 2021. Fucking shame.
Those knuckledraggers got beaten in a war once. Why they thought they could pull this shit again is beyond me.

It is about him though. He's mobilized these people like no one else has been able to before or will be able to do for a long time. He's a lightning rod for hate groups and extremists for whatever reason. Not just anyone could have done what he did, the way he did. It's not intelligence he's just got some base racism talent that resonates with these people.
I live in a country where violent demonstrations are sadly commonplace, but this particular imagery of guards pointing at people with their drawn guns into the Capitol is very disturbing. That and also the fact that somebody actually died over this. It feels like America is at a turning point right now.
maybe all those failed business ventures into making it big made him a nut or he always was. is this why mike ross left the show?
Fuck her. She chose that outcome by storming the fucking Capital. The rest of them are lucky they're white or they'd be pudding right now.
Spent 14 years in our military and then died in defense of her god-king. What a miserable end.
A U.S. soldier who goes to attack the Capitol Hill is a traitor.
Gonna go ahead and tell you to fuck off, don't you dare both sides this shit
What also got us here is assuming assholes are acting in good faith like the troll you're replying to. You can't change a moron's mind. Just ignore him and move on.
