    The thing about being ok with your side calling for the execution of heretics is that you may find, sooner than you expect, that you, too, have become a heretic.

    Trump means the threat. He wants to execute opponents and, additionally, he seems to be grooving with the idea of killing lots of people: Note many strikes on Venezuela boats and the military build up along Venezuela’s coast. Trump has blood lust, and the body count is rising.
