      I’m inclined to agree.

      When a sudden power vacuum appears, two things are likely to happen. One, there’s a mad scramble to grab that power and two, they’ll turn on each other in the attempt. But that’s all that seems certain.

      Leadership would change hands and divisions would deepen, but they’ve been on a path of retribution and violence for a long time now. Trump’s exit wouldn’t end that.

      He’ll likely die of a heart attack or stroke and MAGA folks will still blame the left for it.

      Would love for you to expand “already doing that” in relation to what I was suggesting. I do not see political opponents being physically attacked, I do not see/hear of any armed mobs actively physically trying to ‘take their country back’.

      I think that because of 1) trump is still alive and 2) this cook kid doesn’t seem to fit the narrative of their enemy has kept things ‘civil’.

          I’m talking about as a response to him being murdered vs. not. Didn’t think i needed to explain the context of my comment.

          I disagree with this completely. I believe if he had been killed his supporters would massively ramp up the division that exists now

          Editing for the literal context from my original comment.
