Imagine a world without Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, and Orban

Yes there are currently other evil leaders and undoubtedly there will be in the future, but at 61, I hope to live to see a day when all 4 of these sick fucks are no longer on earth.

1. Pls add pee wee to the list?

2. What a wonderful world it would be.....

3. My chances of outliving all of the world's despots isn't all that great, but possible.

I share your hope. But even if they die, would the conditions that allowed them to rise to power allow for someone equally bad (or worse) to fill the void?

[PatSeg]

11. Sadly, there usually are despot wannabes

waiting to fill their shoes. There's no shortage of power hungry assholes in the world. The species still has a lot of evolving to accomplish.

4. I share your sentiments.

5. Sunshine and rainbows...

... for as far as the eye can see! Or until fools elect another psychopath, in 3... 2... 1...

6. Remember Kruschev's remark, "we will bury you" ... It actually was a traditional Russian saying, meaning ...

"we will observe your funeral", meaning "we will still be around when you are no more".

It would be nice to have something better. By the time these parasites are gone, I will be past my best days, personally and professionally, and the absolute most I can hope for is a quiet retirement, after an adult life that started out with much promise and optimism. I had to live through Reagan, Bush the Lesser, and Trump, **twice each**, and none of them was worth electing, MUCH LESS RE-electing. For millions of Americans, our lives and careers have been straitjacketed by these increasingly authoritarian, nay, absolutist, trends in the GOP. The Red Hats have loved this BDSM experience; for those of us who love freedom (i.e. liberals, progressives, Dems) and hate arbitrarily imposed restraints (which GOPers can't do without), these have been dismal decades indeed.

Sadly, it didn't help that when we twice succeeded in electing two-term Dem Presidents, both proved to be too accommodating to conservative power structures in Congress and Wall Street. So we're left with little positive change, and none of it all that durable.

7. You need to toss Musk, Thiel, et al off the planet first.

Or they will just find other greedy, amoral psychopathic narcissists to fund and manipulate. (Vance is already on deck, for example.)

[yardwork]

9. Truth.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. The folks manipulating and funding them worries and enrages me just as much. And it's a long list... n/t

10. I want a world where they are all tried at the Hague and spend some real miserable

years before the end of their lives.
