      I live in a dictatorship that toppled dictators before, and this is the current permeating thought. Not “we’ll get rid of him” but rather “let’s wait it out.” And so you wait out a decade, two, three… Maybe it is over and the plans were arranged so his successor would take over instead.

      Your thought is one of a people under a brutal dictatorship. So much for the championed first and second amendments, eh?

        I agree that the conditions that allowed this to happen are still present and won’t magically disappear once he dies. But I do think his absence is necessary for any recovery to occur.
        But his death won’t fix the greater problem of fascism, dictatorship or tyranny.
