I don't want them to, either. While he has come out and made some threats
like that in past, the continued support of things like spying on us (via
the Patriot Act) doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about Democrats
or Republicans not doing this.

I have not heard them say this, but I have heard them claim they will gut
or close the Department of Education. My problem here is, in comparing my
generation to past generations, I don't see where mine benefited from the
existence of the DoE (est 1980, when I was 4 or 5 grades through public
school) or the Office of Education (est 1953) that came before it.
If anything, we seem to be getting dumber.

I've not seen this beyond people he believes have comitted crimes, but he
doesn't get to make that call. Obama used to go to twitter and make
similar complaints (that person should go to jail) when the courts didn't
see things his way.

Unless you are truely absentee, what is a necessity for this that doesn't
involve "I like" or "It's convienent"?

I have not heard them threaten this. I *HAVE* heard several people attempt
to use their public influence to sway voters by "threatening" they will
leave the country if he wins, though. If this is anything like 2000, 2016,
or any other time these same folks have threatened to leave, the threats
will be hollow from 99% of them.
