Well. We see how well option #1 worked out. Enjoy the chaos. Keep holding purity tests and pogroms at your peril.
One day you might grow up and realise that adults compromise with each other to better the country, and don't stamp their feet and scream "BUT DAAAAADDDDYYYYY, SHE ONLY AGREES WITH 99.9999% OF WHAT I AGREE WITH AND THAT 0.0001% THAT I DISAGREE WITH IS LITERALLY THE MOST EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE PLANET WAHHHHHHH!!!!!" whenever they are faced with any opposition, whatsoever.
TL;DR: Enjoy your Trump. You helped make this happen. Grow the fuck up, or see it get even worse.
