Anthony Sabatini, who is running for Congress in Florida's 11th district, reportedly made the remarks during June's Florida Teenage Republicans Youth Summit.
Extinguishing an ideology is not murder. I don’t support it (I’m a moderate leftist myself), but it isn’t murder.
I never expected to have a use for the de dicto - de re distinction, but what he wants to do is eliminate leftists de dicto (that is, make it such that there are no leftists) rather than de re (that is, take everyone who is currently a leftist and make them not exist). The latter would be murder. The former is not, although it can still fuck right off.
By extinguishing leftism? Then there would be no left without a single murder.
