Your paradigm is so funny, replace "political opponents" by "enemies", now you will get it. and as you say, "if they do", aka by. their. own. doing.
Win-win.
they could be rhinos, trumptards, demoNcrats, globalits, what ever they market themselves now. they are ALL. THE. SAME. TO. ME.
I mean you could try solving your own problems instead of waiting for everyone else to die but where's the fun in that.
