When you want to express your complete rage at the incompetence of leadership over text, in a way that says "I would like to see their heads removed at the neck with a large falling blade and rolled into little baskets" but less literal and more succinct, an emoji would help a lot.
Sadly, there is no guillotine emoji, despite "guillotine them" being the ruling sentiment of the pissed-off proletariat for the last... well, probably many years, but more lately, as tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in protests around the world.
Lisbon-based artist Carrozo is lobbying the Unicode Consortium to include a guillotine in its next emoji update, and has sent an application outlining why the people need the 18th century execution machine in their emoji lexicon.

They certainly fulfill the purpose of a language, which is to convey ideas and information.
But I seriously doubt that a guillotine will be added, given they are already walking back from the gun emoji.
Gotta love that the left are now into making death threats too. I thought that was something that they didn't like about the right?

You must have missed the asterisk. Whenever the left says "you shouldn't do such a thing," there's always a footnote saying "We should be doing it instead."

Democrats aren't left. Leftist anarchists and nihilists were all about assassination and terrorism.
