Should we crucify trash people?

Say we constructed an X on the White House lawn and we strapped Donald Trump to it and we just let him die there from whatever causes. Is that wrong?

How about we put some tech Bros next to him? The thieves and the liars? Mark Zuckerberg and Elon musk?

What are we waiting for? There’s infinite X’s.

No, and the reason we don’t is, we’re better than they are. It’s the same with the trials after World War II. Those who were responsible for all that suffering were put on trial. Some were sentenced to death, and it was generally far more merciful a death than they gave millions of others. Hanging or firing squad, I’d imagine.

Specific to Donald Trump, he is 80 years old and in poor health. Make him live in poverty like a person of colour who is LGBTQ+ in Detroit or some other decrepit American city and just let nature take its course. Also, maybe let some of those people he’s disenfranchised know where he’s at so they can air their grievances with him personally. You don’t have to do anything too elaborate. Oh, maybe give him a bottomless gift card to McDonald’s, speed up the process.

Elon Musk, harder to say. He’s done good things with Tesla and SpaceX. Future generations may look more kindly upon him. But he’s also done a lot of harm, too.

Not really my place to judge these people. I just think they should be judged.
