Ah, I always love the self-aggrandizement of the Trump Cult members. “… because my demise would make too many liberals happy.” I mean do you actually think anyone wastes the brain power necessary to wish you dead? Dude, no one knows who you are. Live, die, whatever. No one, except maybe your family cares. No one wants you to live, no one wants you to die. We don’t think about you at all. It is not a blip on our radar. Somewhere in America a guy with the last name Smith almost certainly died yesterday. Maybe many such people. Does that make you happy? Does that make you sad? That will be the same when you die. The most you can hope for is someone who reads one of these absurd articles, reads your obituary, and thinks, I think I’ve heard that name before, and that will be it. Get over yourself.
You know, unlike people on the far right, I can read people’s opinions that I think are totally wrong or even nutty without wishing them dead. Almost everything on Fox News now has reached the Nutty stage, but I still listen and I don’t want them to die, and their death would not make me “happy” and if truth be known would not make me “sad.” It would just be a RIP moment.
Meanwhile, those on the far right, like Mr. Prioleau, seem to delight in the prospective death of those they disagree with. As I think others have pointed out, he constantly fantasizes about civil war or the collapse of society and all the people he and others will have to kill with the guns they have. He obviously has some perverted fascination with the “hot battle” where he has to kill people scenario.
Most of the commenters here are aware enough to realize their insignificance in this world, and are far more likely to come to the realization that their opinions at the very least could be wrong, or that even if they were actually right, nobody is obligated to give a damn, for better or worse.
Drunkle is quite possibly the antithesis to that notion. Dude’s got a serious case of Main Character Syndrome.

Honestly I view the Prioleaus of America as victims. It’s not an excuse for anything they say or do mind you but somehow they have fallen prey to a pretty disgusting ideology that was either crafted directly by greedy bastards, or indirectly self-manifested thanks to propaganda crafted by said greedy bastards. That ideology is what drives them, and it drives them well outside the bounds of reason.
Imagine being the parent of a kid who joins a cult. You don’t want them to die. You just want your kid back, with a sound mind, living in the real world. It’s the cult that needs to go away, not the people that got sucked into it. Until they find their way out they are perpetual victims of it.
Both the left and right have their own paranoid version of world catastrophe. For the modern Left, it mostly involves ecological disaster; in the seventies they proclaimed we were going to have a new ice age, then it shifted to global warming, and when the numbers didn’t really pan out to supported it, it then became amorphous “climate change” a.k.a. anything unusually bad. For the older members on the right, it was communist world takeover (but hey, the communists did actually declare in writing for anyone who was paying attention that the did in fact have a goal of global revolution), followed by the mother of all financial collapses and societal breakdown thereafter. Now you can’t listen to any conservative talking head within the last 15+ years who isn’t hawking gold and silver, and survival food kits. The fact remains, while thankfully rare in this country, from time to time, the fabric of society frays and tears, even breaks down, and then has to rebuild itself. We did after all lose 750,000 people in the Civil War. There will eventually be a great national divorce whe nthe federal government financially collapses, albeit hopefully not in our lifetimes, but it is inevitable. Hopefully it can happen without war.

But yet, you take the time to read and comment.
“Why do people go do zoos? (Okay, I borrowed the line from H. L. Mencken)
Make that “to” zoos.

That is an excellent comment. I could not agree more.
