I can see how you might think that.
But the populace had to be shown exactly what the leftist dink-a-dos would do, if given the chance.
It was not possible to convince enough people that the left wasn't just an altruistic bunch, empowering victims of the system.
EVERYONE, who isn't a fruity douche bag, can see the left as evil fools now.
EVERYONE wants them dismantled and dealt with now.
The world can see.
The rest of this trouncing is matter of comfortable procedure…until it isn't comfortable for anyone.
Do you like surprises?
It will be a shame, if you don't.
