You don't even have to be a communist. No constitution in the world is gonna give you an easy peasy step-by-step guide to dealing with coups and sedition. Sometimes you just gotta take out the trash.

Sure but you don't need a trial for that. Accidents happen all the time.

I mean you can say a show trial was the most justice has ever been just (many people are saying this) but if it's an accident then even Dem voters won't be able to argue that it wasn't an assassination. At that point you might as well just have him shot with no trial as an example. Might be the way to go tbh but I'm sure there are better rat****ers than me who can game out the best option.

Of course if you assassinate a despot, you run the risk of making him a martyr for the cause. It's best to let the emperor take his clothes off (and Trump is doing a pretty good job of that so far) and hope the flock gets it.

He was so sure that this was going to seal his 10 year long goal of being speaker.

Before libs start patting themselves on the back over the right wing infighting I think it's entirely probable this is just the far right making sure the center right doesn't look at the midterms and think it means they should let off the gas and go normie. I think this might just be reinforcing that there is no going back to center right politics.

Why wouldn't the Left pat themselves on the back if that's true?
