Beating them in an election isn't enough, any more than a gold star from the teacher is enough to stop the class bully. They must be made to hide in the shadows and fear the consequences of their actions. Winning won't be sufficient, they must be punished, so that others will be dissuaded from following their footsteps. I say this not from cruelty or vengence, but from strategy and psychology.
@AlliFlowers I disagree, they won't go away that easily. Trump lost and he didn't just go away. This isn't the Bush/Cheney type of Republicans anymore. These people are fucking nuts, and they have major media networks and activist billionaires behind them. I stand by my previous statement; voting is essential, BUT not sufficient.
