For the casual reader, the entire quote, with the fragment Pix has snipped out in context, was:
I have no idea. I would hope not.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong. Frederick Douglas -

The answer is 'yes' for a lot of people, given the right circumstances. That is why laws are required, that is why civilization always sits on a precipice. Trump is closer to that edge than most.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

There is a list by Genocide Watch of the 10 stages of Genocide. My assessment is that Trump is at Stage 6. I'd be curious to know where you put him.Originally posted by oxmixmudd View Post
Note...being at Stage 6 does not necessarily mean you are going to Stage 10. But it does mean you have begun to create an environment that makes Stage 10 more likely.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Maybe Carpe answers posts linearly and hasn't gotten to that one yet...?
Your first instance of this was at 11:36, Pix., about 14 minutes ago. I don't sit here waiting for you to post, so you might want to allow a more than 15 minutes for someone to respond to you? Just a thought.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Umm...that WAS my answer. When I don't know, "I don't know" is the response. I have no idea if Trump would commit genocide if given the means. That in and of itself is not a compliment to Trump. If you asked me the same question about Obama, Bush (I or II), Clinton, Reagan, Macron, Trudeau, Merkel, or any number of current and past world leaders, my answer would have been "I sincerely doubt it."The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
