Killing them all or removing them all for them means little difference. And no, they don't really favor Trump on anything, but if given two "evil" options in the furtherance of a genocide, they choose neither since (again it's according to them) it's basically saying Hitler was okay since the trains ran on time and people had jobs.

It is continuously frustrating to talk to these people. I've dealt with it well more than a year at this point...and like I said it's only gotten worse since November of last year.
