Arguably, it’s the best thing that could happen for this country right now, that’s also in the realm of possibility. Like, a meteor conveniently taking out the more corrupt half of the supreme Court would obviously be better, but not realistic.
I keep thinking someone might assassinate him. But that makes him some kind of martyr, which is bad. But then I wonder who would be the next demagogue and how would they use that to their advantage?
I get a little bit excited every time there’s a Breaking News alert on my phone. Unfortunately the definition of breaking news is now such that it basically means someone retweeted something stupid.
GAME OVER:[Person with center-left politics/retired GOP politician with no skin in the game] TOTALLY HUMILIATES [Trump/MTG/any GOP demagogue] with argument
…it’s a just a tweet into the void that nobody with any stake in said argument will ever read
Thanks, HuffPost, MSNBC, et al, for basically all being MeidasTouch
Honestly, I think him keeling over before the primaries are finished will harm the country. One of his opponents could run basically unopposed, and they’re all pretty shit.
And the moderate conservatives that are sitting it out because trump will gladly show up and check the ® box for pretty much anyone else. Don’t know why it’s so tough to get people to show up and vote on the democratic side, the conservatives will show up and vote for roadkill.
Part of dagma and zealotry is undying faith in the cause despite everything in the face of it. Democrats merely act in self interests and with basic minimum empathy, we have no allegiance to anybody and we do not idolize our politicians.
I disagree with the statement that we lack empathy very much, almost to the point of being offended. I would say that democrats are empathetic to a fault. In fact I think that empathy is regularly mocked and abused by the parts of this population that see it as weakness and take advantage of democrat attempts at understanding and tolerating shit behavior. Democrats main fault, IMO, is their fractured nature due to all their special interests, all the groups they have empathy for and want to help. There are multiple “causes” they fight for/against. Environment. Poverty. Minorities. Education. Workers rights. Etc. And getting them to get together to vote for a candidate that may not check all the boxes for all the reasons is really fucking difficult, whereas all a conservative has to do is check off a couple boxes in the god/guns/country/‘murca boxes, or just say they wanna fuck up everything the libs do and everyone shows up to vote.
I said the opposite of what you interpreted. Democrats have at least the bare minimum amount of empathy for society to work, as opposed to Republicans who functionally lack empathy.
Trump kneeling over and dying would be arguably the worse outcome. We all saw what happened when Dear Leader took a L, with the culmination being January 6.
In Trump land, unless Dear Leader dies in a golden light and ascends to heaven. The autopsy could be conducted live with the most unbiased person and it still wouldn’t matter. There will be massive conspiracy theories about the “Biden Crime Family”/Deep state/Hunter Biden’s laptop etc. assassinated Trump and that revenge needs to be taken.
Trump needs to be made irrelevant first. No one is going to storm a building over someone who is irrelevant.
It would be hilarious if Trump just keeled over. Not only would his fans go nuts with insane theories but it would save the country a lot of trouble.

I think his martyrdom is a small price to pay for his lack of existence.
I just wonder if he’s more dangerous as a martyr when someone else takes the reins and invokes his name. Now it validates their oppression.

A certain archduke comes to mind.
No, not right now. September or October would be better.
Agreed. Make him a martyr now and someone will take the mantle.

all the “[person] slammed by [person]” headlines.
All those Big Macs and KFC Big Crunch’s have to come back to haunt him eventually. Dude can’t be the only person on Earth immune to cholesterol.

You know they will wait for 3 days outside Maralago for the third cumming of christ.
