You do understand that Trump being assassinated would end far worse than him getting elected, right? Trump turned his head and America dodged a bullet.
Depends on who his successor would be. Whoever that would be would have the momentum of a martyr behind them.
As many folks pointed out, there’s no shortage of people with Trump like policies but are even more dangerous by being more competent.
No, the only death that might have avoided the would have been zero assassination attempts and some death that couldn’t have possibly been an assassination even in the wildest of conspiracy theories.
That shooter may have secured a MAGA victory the instant he pulled the trigger, whether he would have killed Trump or not.
Maybe, but the problem for Republicans is their platform simply isn’t popular, it’s why they have to go to these extremes.
His base of ~25% of the electorate is maybe more motivated to turn up at the polls now and is more likely to be violent (especially if Trump loses), but no one is going to say “Oh, I was against fascism, but now that the fascist died I’m pro-fascism.” anyone who thinks that way was already supporting Donald Trump anyway. The GOP is maxed on support, which is why they are constantly trying to purge voter registration rolls anywhere they can.

Not technically.

No way, a Trump presidency will be way worse.
Especially now.
