What does the word "burn" mean?
I have a quick question here:
"This is the time for us to burn the Minister and his political party! Rally together and vote them out!"
What does this mean? Does it mean the writer intends to physically harm the Minister by rallying the people to burn him?
Please help. Thanks.

I don't think it is meant literally, especially given wording " vote them out", which sounds reasonably civilised. It is probably talking about harming or destroying them figuratively.
