Personally, I would like the perpetrators executed, but that's just because it would feel good.

I think Steele has been around the block enough that he recognizes that simple, emotionally-driven outcomes like that aren't so feasible. Like he said, something to the effect of, "You don't back jackals with unlimited weath and thousands of private mercenary hitmen on call into a corner."

He describes the next 90 days of Trump's presidency as our one chance to enact some real change and quite honestly, an aggressive, warlike, kill-the-badguys mentality does more to hurt our enemies than it does to help us. I would agree with him that electoral reform is more functionally important to the wellbeing of the country than corporal punishment, however satisfying the latter would be.

Whatever the case may be, I think it'd be better to humor him on that point for the time being, until we start seeing some major movement.

I would not take whatever he says seriously.

He's telling you "what our chances are"

? That' s NLP. That's hypnosis. Get everyone to thinks that's all they can hope for.. He's trying to footgeld us. And if he doesn't hobble us properly, his owners will fine him.
