    What is the point of not saying Trump’s name?

    To me, solely referring to him as ‘47’ or something along those lines just comes off as childish or petty. Can anyone explain a reasoning behind this?

      Trump is a diva lightning rod. He lives on attention. As well by blaming him directly you indirectly absolve his surrounding Republican party. Meaning when trump dies or goes away, they can slot in JD vance and because trump ate all the complaints they will be given leeway to continue their fascism

        Ding ding ding

        Problem is that it does feel damn satisfying to aim the vitriol directly at him. But even bad PR is good PR as they say.

        I can live with this idea. Other than when how much I actively and intentionally want him to suffer in every way possible. I don’t want him to know death until he explores the full spectrum of pain and as he goes I hope he starts to see signs that everything he’s ever done start to fall apart and that he will be forgotten quickly.

        Basically I want the absolute worst death humanly possible. To the infinityeth power.

      I took it to mean we need to shift the focus of conversation to the entire republican administration, as per point 10.
