He'll be a martyr if action is taken now. Unfortunately, he still has support. Only when a majority of his voters have come to agree that he is an insane, traitorous fascist can we remove him without lethal repercussions to our country. Serious repercussions will continue for decades in any event, but we must not allow them to be lethal.
