PhD student suggests liquidating President Trump and “a whole class of people”

When people with advanced degrees lack smarts… Nicholas Decker, an economics PhD student at George Mason University, went on a social media political rant. Decker claimed that the source of political power will always be violence. Decker said that if things continue with the Trump administration’s actions, the “problem” would be solved with blood and iron. His chosen target went beyond President Trump and towards “a whole class of people.”

From Red State:

Diving into his post on Substack, Decker argues that “evil has come to America,” and it came in the form of Trump and his supporters. He says that Trump is ignoring the orders of the court system and “deprived us, in many cases, of trial by jury; it has subjected us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and has transported us beyond seas to be imprisoned for pretended offenses.”

But Decker is tired of just voicing his outrage, he wants to take action! He suggests he and his like-minded TDS sufferers start killing people:

If the present administration chooses this course, then the questions of the day can be settled not with legislation, but with blood and iron. In short, we must decide when we must kill them. None of us wish for war, but if the present administration wishes to destroy the nation I would accept war rather than see it perish. I hope that you would choose the same.

He continues by saying killing Trump wouldn’t be enough, a lot of people are going to have to die.

“For let us make no mistake; the problem is not one man, but a whole class of people. If one head is cut off, another would take its place,” wrote Decker.

I want to be clear that I’m not altering the quotes in any way. He really is writing like this.

Decker encourages people to keep protesting, not because it’s effectual (it’s not) but because it allows people to coordinate and make connections. Moreover, he says that a timeframe needs to be created, because action must be taken at some point in order to stop America from falling into the hands of a dictator:

And when is that time? Your threshold may differ from mine, but you must have one. If the present administration should cancel elections; if it should engage in fraud in the electoral process; if it should suppress the speech of its opponents, and jail its political adversaries; if it ignores the will of Congress; if it should directly spurn the orders of the court; all these are reasons for revolution. It may be best to stave off, and wait for elections to throw out this scourge; but if it should threaten the ability to remove it, we shall have no choice. We will have to do the right thing. We will have to prepare ourselves to die. I hope that we should conduct ourselves with such courage that it will be our finest hour; I expect that we shall do our duty.
