Yeah, American thoughts and prayers system works better, not.

It goes for the players among each other too. It's not just the one character in OP that dislikes or distrusts the party. It's up to the rest of the party to also accomodate them. If you have a moral character in the group you might refrain from murdering, raping and pillaging for shits and giggles.
As they say "the only way to have a friend is to be one".
We're getting there we're getting there. The president doesn't need to believe in anything but filling his pockets to be a prime religious leader. I don't think most cult leaders believe what they tell their followers, do you?
Trump enacts or supports a great lot of whatever the US fundies want. Women's rights in the US don't mean a lot now and will mean a whole lot less going forward, and a lot of that is carried by religion. I told my American friend in Januari not to panic, she still had time to get out, they would not turn the US into Iran in a month or two.
Things are going down that road faster than I believed and I am relieved to know she has been able to get out of the US today.
In Dutch you get fun stuff like 16.35 being vijf over half vijf, being 5 past half five. I'm sure German is similar in that regard.
When all the ones who are disgusted leave, you are left with only those who are disgusting. Not my words but somehow they apply again.
We are, despite centuries upon centuries of evolution, civilization, philisophy and education, deeply tribal creatures. While right wing propaganda most blatantly and directly calls upon our tribalism to dehumanize the "other" of the day, it is a trait we all share. Frankly when you look at how far some people take the denial of easily verifiable reality to stick to a feeble story and prop up the most deplorable of men, it's easy to feel they are terminally lost and can no longer be part of any kind of moral and positive society. But that way we just end up dehumanizing them as much as they do to us.
Even as they have been brainwashed and molded to be perpetually scared and angry and to reject other feelings, they are people nontheless who need to be treated fairly.
To some extent I understand that murderer, misguided as he is. It would, for me be a better world if I could remove people I see as harmful to the world from existence. If someone were to remove a bunch of republican supporting billionaires, the whole of that parties leadership and the heritage foundation from the world I would not be angry at all. Not because I hate them. I don't really, I don't know them personally. But because they are so harmful to all of us.
We may say things like "eat the rich" but we don't really do that, at most we affectionately nibble a bit, without breaking skin. I'm too well aware that to people who live in actual abject povery, my middle class ass could be part of the group of rich folk on the menu. Once we start killing the people we see as harmful, where do we stop. Where do we draw the line? Who makes the grade? We could easily end up in a situation where, like in post revolutionary China or France anyone could be accused and convicted for not being revolutionary enough. Accused by an angry neighbor, a jealous lover or your own kids.
So while I understand the feelings that lead to the actions, I cannot condone murder, nor do I take such action myself, besides, I have a job to do, kids to care for, bills to pay etc, etc, etc.
And no, I have no solution for any of this, it's way too complex to solve with rigid ideology or easy to shout slogans.
That's the onion though.
Just wanted to say, in the face of downvotes and angry replied, that I think you are absolutely right.
I fully expect the GOP to give make him a talk show host on Fox.
Indeed, in a little maids dress and apron, selling an albatross during the movie intermission.
Would have been better with a red wine. That is better at room temperature and we can include drinks of color!
I live in a country with rather restrictive gun laws. That stuff works great! I never have to worry about getting shot.
