Let’s just run with the checkers metaphor:
When Donald loses the checkers tournament, he pulls he a knife and tries to stab people. Chaos ensues.
Players ask the checkers association to bar him from the next tournament. (In the meantime, Donald publicly seeks out a bigger knife.) But people say:
“No, defeat him at the checkers table!”
“We can’t bar him, or he might become violent!”
“Disarm him by playing checkers harder!”
Do you •hear• how ridiculous all that sounds?
