@Elizafox @bob Oh, absolutely. Part of what makes this whole mess so frightening is that people on both sides of the aisle have interests in escalating the situation, entirely separate from Trump as an individual. It's not like republicans have a monopoly on warmongering by any means; Obama was as bomb-happy as any president, if not moreso.

Also, for the record, I think that having Mike Pence replace Trump would be much worse.
