      Not how you spell his name, but I’ll allow the disrespect to his name. Probably shouldn’t have capitolized his name though…

        Not how you spell “capitalized”, and I won’t allow you to disrespect an innocent word.

          No, they were correct, the OP commenter should not have turned Ronald Reagan’s last name into a state capitol.

    Wait… Are we guaranteed that whoever comes next won’t be as bad? Because, things can always get worse that’s for sure

      If things can always get worse then the corollary is that things can always get better too

      Maybe when the horrible people see that a horrible person just melted away into nothingness after some rando snapped their fingers they might change their tune

    Does “World’s Richest Man” count as a leader? Because I’m struggling to think of any negatives to him being suddenly substracted from the world.

    Also, TIL that substracted is a valid, albeit obsolete, variant of subtract.

    If you are talking about nation state leaders, I’m struggling to think of one where they don’t just end up getting replaced with someone similar - Putin turning to magic dust doesn’t suddenly dismantle the structure that allows for a dictator, so another dictator will slide into the void. Same with Trump - American politics doesn’t stop being insane just cos he’s not around, and now that people know/think that a politician of his style can win, there will be a queue to cynical imitators ready to go.

    I’m less familiar with Indian politics, but I don’t think the BJP suddenly loses its power if Modi disappeared. Israel will still have it’s hard right nationalist core without Netanyahu. North Korea will find another Kim.

    I guess my thesis is “focus on systems, not people”
