I remember asking on reddit before the election that if Trump and the Republican party are so bad then why don't we revoke Trump's citizenship and people (libs) freaked the heck out; lots of 'You can't defeat tyranny by becoming tyrants! Then you just have tyranny!', or 'That's a catch 22! You're trying to defeat tyranny by becoming a tyrant!', or 'behaving like this is what dictatorships do, and if you want to see what a dictatorship looks like, then wait until Trump wins!'

For reference and the irony:

EDIT (the actual link; I linked the wrong page): https://www.reddit.com/r/TooAfraidToAsk/comments/1dssr87/if_trump_or_the_republican_party_is_actually_that/

So basically don't fix the problem via the method that Republicans would absolutely fix theirs

I would go back and ask all these people how it's going now but they've spent the whole time since Kamala lost herself the election blaming the rest of us

Also the post is downvoted to zero because

I felt the same vibe when european soc dems were rebuking Macron for going after LePen for corruption or whatever it was. Like if she's actually fascist, you dont decide to play electoralism with them. Doesnt help that macron sucks

Edit: I find the top comment so revealing of the liberal consciousness:

I mean for one huge reason among many others, there is no legal mechanism to do what you are suggesting.

It’s like asking why I can’t make my iPhone eat a hamburger. It has neither the programming nor the physical characteristics necessary for it to perform that action.

They see the laws of the US as material things, like the laws of physics. They dont even consider the millions of times Republicans/Trump/Billionaires/Corporations ignore and violate the laws with no repercussions. They are living in a fantasy world

I'm fully supporting right-wing infighting.
