When all else fails, you kill them.

QUITO, Ecuador ? An Ecuadorian presidential candidate known for speaking up against corruption was shot and killed Wednesday at a political rally in the capital amid a wave of startling violence in the South American country.

President Guillermo Lasso confirmed the assassination of Fernando Villavicencio and suggested organized crime was behind his slaying, less than two weeks before the Aug. 20 presidential election. - Time

"Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984 by two Sikh bodyguards after she allowed the storming of the holiest Sikh temple, aimed at flushing out Sikh separatists who demanded an independent homeland to be known as Khalistan. The storming of the temple angered Sikhs around the world"

Is the Administrative State and a Swampland of corrupt sinecures going to tolerate more that the Sikhs did?
Are they going to "give up" if banana republic kangaroo courts can't stop Trump?
What _if_ they fear that all of their cheating methods won't be enough to overcome a growing groundswell of populism that could elect The Donald again?
