Except the xenomorph is an animal, a remorseless killing machine. Kill it, and it's dead. It's acid blood might burn a hole in the hull and turn all the astronauts into iced spaghetti, but its death is the beginning of the end of the problem.

Trump is not our monster. He's a symptom of the problem, like an infected cyst that forms due to autoimmune deficiency. His end will not make American great again. Our government needs to be able to function and expel infections like Trump without a violent coup, otherwise we're just kicking the can down the road. We need a United States that can maintain its governmental functions regardless of who is in the seat of power, one where criminals are imprisoned efficiently until they can be rehabilitated, even if that never happens. As cathartic as it might be to see enemies punished, vengeance is not justice. Creating a system that cannot be capricious or vengeful is the only way to prevent despots from being capricious and vengeful. If we have learned anything, it's that we cannot rely on our representatives being decent people with good intentions.
