2. I don't want any people

Who have good hearts and care about people's well being to die.

I don't want people who feel love to die.

I want all the liberals to live.

Because liberals are not toxic or abusive by nature and they don't want to dominate everyone. They can live and let live and value the social contract that makes life together possible.

They appreciate pro-social values.

Truly good people when taken as a whole, will not kill proactively in mass numbers, at least not as a general rule of thumb. To rid the planet of the new Trumpian (and beyond, as I am now dealing with a decades long sweep of future prognostications) white nationalist plague and their systemic controllers they are going to have to be removed from most all power. That will, in all likelihood, require kinetic action and bloodshed. They are the ones setting this all into motion for a future date clash.

If civil war does occur down the road in the US, I do not like the left's chances, unless they are able to keep the main core of the US Military on their side.

The best one can probably hope for is a peaceful dissolution of the union. I highly doubt that will ever be allowed to come to fruition.

As an aside, I never use the term liberal in the way so many do in the US. Liberal in most of the rest of the world means centre right wing. I would never self-label as such.

That would be so nice.

Tragically, our individualistic, competitive, and exploitive society has little room for empathy. It should be no surprise that those who have none hold the reigns of power in so many of our businesses and institutions.
