The problems we lament are not the result of one man. He has enablers. He has funders. He has defenders. He has judges and congresspeople.
The idea that our problems will disappear when ONE guy kicks the bucket would be laughable if our situation weren't so depressing.
The right person going has historically been key to defeating fascism.
Personality cults need the personality.
Without the personality the cult that lifts them up still exists and the ideas persist.
The word martyr exists for a reason. And sometimes a flawed martyr is even better. Because with the right methods, you can always rewrite whatever you like and ignore what you don't. as we have so very recently learned from modern history, that fact is so much more terrifyingly effective than you could ever dream of.
That may be true, but we all gotta start somewhere.
