Very true, Adma. You've always been on the right side of things, and quick with an EFRSed McMansion (or a French Quarter) image to analogize the sins of the Nayshun in contemporary architecture. Moreover, IIRC you were the first to dig in and explore the various means by which Ford might not survive (literally) his term in office. Remember when THAT was deemed beyond the pale?
Yep, some good eggs in this forum...
Well, it was always under the guiding principle of "Ford's worse". That is, whatever (a generic) you think of so-and-so, whomever you bring up as electable buffoons (Lastman, Katz, O'Brien, Boris, bla bla bla) as precedent...
Ford's worse. And, knowing what John Barber and others had reported on (though certainly not the depths of what we know *now*), there was *no freaking way* this was going to end well. (But, always stopping short of Godwin violation, though not without an implicit "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it" undertone.)
At one point, IIRC I even got a temp ban for posting a "hey, if you wanna, go ahead" type of post re the prospect of assassination--yeah, that may have crossed the line, but I remain, fundamentally, more disinterested-third-party fatalistic than moralistic. That is, I'm not letting my heart bleed for innocents, familial or civilian or even yourself or myself: whatever happens, happens. Let fate guide the way.
All I know is: it won't be pretty.
