    I’m not sure “Trump is a martyr” leads to the timeline you think it does.

      It does…without his cult of personality I think the magats fizzle out and slink back into the dark corners of society

      Maybe they find a new Messiah in Elon, but I don’t think he has the lack of intelligence to lie like Trump does.

      I mean these assassination attempts barely stick around the news cycle longer than other shootings and my guess is people are tired enough of him not to care. Hate crime incidence spiked when he won in 2016, so also.theres no version of this election that doesn’t lead to violence. May as well excise the cancer entirely.

            Elvis was Jesus-ified after death and tacky, roadside velvet Elvis art could be purchased and displayed to show your devotion to the King. Love of a musical icon is one thing. But, martyred fascists are not kitsch or cool. Either one will let you know what kind of a home you stepped into. Both would be in bad taste but one is so bad it’s good and the other is so bad, it’s baaaad. And not Michael Jackson bad.
