    him dying would’ve turned him into a martyr and basically solidified him as a saint, if not a god, to the maga crowd. I can imagine the repercussions of that. there’s also the possibility that someone worse replaces him, someone just as fascist and selfish but twice as competent, and that would be disastrous. y’know, the whole “guys I went back in time and killed Hitler” trope/joke.

      He’s already a god to his followers. People literally paint him as the second coming of Jesus Christ. There is no one worse in this moment than Donald Trump.

        Sure there are people who are worse. There are people behind their movement that have not stuck their head up and are competent.

          Sure, yet none of them are able to do what Trump does. That’s why it’s taken 40+ years for them to get to this point. The Mitch McConnells and such might be politically saavy, but they don’t have the “charisma” of Donald Trump to actually pull off the end game. That’s why they all protect him so much, he’s a cult figure, which can be difficult to fabricate.

        others have made a terrifying point that his death could incite another instruction like Jan 6.

          Which biden would be prepared to deal with. Keep in mind that Trump was in office for Jan 6. One might even consider that a good thing, as this time with a competent president there would be less victims, and more insurrectionists getting their voting rights taken away.

            ¿Biden competent? He’s probably gonna die of old age by Jan 5, and if not, is going to be ordering who knows what crap with his dementia on Jan 6…

                Don’t engage, just mark him as a right wing troll with a user note so you can remember not to engage with him.

                I’ll give you one (1) pity point for jumping right to the low hanging tree category for personal attack.

      I’m pretty sure that’s already true, but I see your point overall.
