I think it's what *kind* of idea he is - the idea of someone who can fight and 
win against anything, even Satan and 666 elder gods, and uses that power for good.

AGREED.

I think that this year has shown that sometimes, anger and fighting is 
absolutely the right tool for the job, and absolutely a tool that we've needed 
to use in the past and haven't.

And I think that mission isn't going to be over until we're finally done with 
the things Trump represents.

Oh, that's interesting.

Right now it's just the ones that were there in this scene, plus 
Cheesecake-Eater Lad and Token Girl. There could be others, tho. But it's a 
secret from most of the LNH, because they didn't want to start another Infinite 
Leadership Crisis.

Me too! :D
