Some folks here believe once Trump is dead, his empire will pass onto someone else. I couldn't disagree more. Every time someone tries to do what Trump does, it's a big flop. It will all unravel with him gone. It's called a cult for a reason.
Best to prepare for the worst outcome.
The worst outcome is he is seen walking and talking. If he dropped dead I doubt anybody else would feel emboldened to act the way he did.
It would also be good to prepare to take his cronies and enablers out. Legally if possible, though other ways are acceptable.
Theee morons are eating their own already even with the dear leader alive.
I hope it does unravel without dragging the whole world into another war. But i fear the seed of hate has already taken root. Unless the entire system is purged of hate I don't have confidence it will be as simple as the Don kicking the bucket.
Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke!!!
Question then becomes what to do about his lieutenants. We still got to deal with the evil that is Miller. In fact. I think tRump is too big an idiot for the full scope of evil that his administration is doing. I think much of this comes from Miller.
Musk owns many politicians and is throwing his seig heils.
Correct. Trump is just the face but if he stroke out and can't make public appearances, the facade falls quickly and there will be a 25A crisis.
MAGA isn't going to follow en mass any of the fuckers propping up Trump.
MAGA isn’t going to follow en mass any of the fuckers propping up Trump.
You sure about that? They chanted, "Jews will not replace us." They're setting up camps. They hate the same groups the Nazis interred. They're seig heil-ing. They want genocide.
I think that means they'd follow anyone who gives them permission to hate. Hate is a powerful narcotic.
You're confused in thinking MAGA is one contiguous group. There are Nazis within MAGA (in fact they have been promoted, especially this term), but there are non-Nazis too. There were people in MAGA who loved Charlie Kirk, and people who hated him for being pro-Israel.
The only thing tying them together is Trump.
Yes they'd still hate but I don't see anyone else they're willing to follow.
Yeah and if the CK thing was any indicator of how it’ll go, the administration will milk it for all it’s worth. It’ll be gross.
I hope he dies in the stupidest, self-owning way possible, like tripping over his own feet and falling down some stairs. Preferably on camera.
i want him to be eating on camera and then accidentally elvis himself
During one of his dumb speeches in front of a crowd of MAGA idiots ..... right in the middle of making one of his dumb statements, just suddenly stops, stares into space and falls over.
Preferably saying something stupid like "Folks, let me tell you something — if I’m wrong, if the Republican Party is wrong — and by the way, we’re not — but if we were wrong, then may God strike me down right now! But it’s not gonna happen, because we’re doing what’s right for America. Believe me."
Love to see how they would try to spin that being his last words.
Trpping and falling down the steps of AF1. And then, as he's dying at the bottom, he shits himself.
Unlike with CK though, they won't be able to hide or contain or threaten the millions of people who will take to the streets celebrating. THAT is the part I look forward to, the absolute, uncontainable movement of the masses defying the state and all it's impotent rage.
Honestly I don't see that happening. Even with his passing, that really doesn't change anything. The administration is still there, and 2nd in line is couch-fucker vance. The foundation for their plans are already in place, and quite frankly, Taco has served his purpose with his popularity declining.
The administration will just use any uprising as a reason to mobilize more troops in the name of safety or whatever. I really wish I'm wrong though.
JD doesn't have the political capital Trump has had which has been the reason Trump gets away with shitting in the faces of everything and everyone.
He has a feverishly devoted base of armed, loyal voters who will support ANYTHING he does. That's raw political power at a foundational level. Nobody understands how he does it so they keep jockeying people like Vance into the spotlight hoping to be able to take the reins.
But Trump's base hates Vance. He talks too much, he sounds like a politician, he has no swagger like Trump does. The magic will go out when the dim light goes out of Trump's lousy life.
I don't think birds will sing and sunbeams will wash the country clean or anything, but the end of Trump will be the beginning of the decay of the republican party. They have no leader with the same political capital. About the only person who had a chance of introducing his own brand of charisma to flute the rats was Charlie Kirk.
It is well understood how he does it. Go watch the documentary Bad Faith. The CNP (Council for National Progress, the group that founded the heritage foundation), has been supplying priests and pastors talking point for 50 years. The CNP told the priests what to say, the priests tell people to follow trump. boom, cult.
I'm fairly certain when djt checksout, the cult will be gifted to JD and business will continue.
He's so me
This seems like a legit story but it is so off-putting when articles quote random social media comments
Rawstory sensationalizes small bits of real info, constantly. He'll probably pop up tomorrow.
I am hoping he lives long enough to prosecute his half of a civil war. We want the bad guys to constantly step on rakes, and Trump is very good at that. Ideally, he should die in the middle of that, so that Thiel, Elon, and the rest of the dickhead gang can fight over the throne at the worst time possible for the Dark "Enlightenment"...no, the Dim Ignorance.
The less good people have to die because of these jackasses, the better.
I hope he gets locked in syndrome before then. Or prions.
Yeah, I'd just like him gone now. I wanted a prosecution 5 years ago, and 1 year ago, but I'm over that.
Trump dead before Dec. 20, take your bets
Christmas Day would be the ultimate present. Oh you don't like us celebrating on the day he died?? Who's waging a war on Christmas now?
I don’t want him to die yet.
I want him to live long enough to face all the consequences of his every criminal action. I want him to die in prison after losing everything. After watching his entire criminal family jailed, his buildings and golf courses sold, and his name forever marked as the despotic maniac he is. Even then, it would not be sufficient justice.
We already know that isn’t going to happen though. The smug raisin was impeached twice, has raped children with Epstein, and is currently declaring LGBT+ and their allies as terrorists. If those things weren’t enough to have him locked away, what will be?
I honestly think the most justice we could hope to see would be his bloated, festering body finally giving out on him on national television. But I doubt his retinue will give us that joy.
While i appreciate the spirit of the pic, this is way more than the dusty old cheetoh deserves. Just throw him in the trash
Please be dead. I think he’s done enough damage to his own cause that if he dies, the cult of personality will be broken. Vance won’t be able to keep it up. If Trump gets killed, he becomes a martyr and they rally around his causes, but dying of natural causes is more hopeful.
The best hide and seeker, many people are saying.
Hopefully no one finds him
This asshole will do anything to divert attention from the Epstein files.
When Trump dies, how long do you think Stephen Miller will try to keep it quiet?
Trump needed the presidency to keep him out of prison. Steven Miller needs Trump's protection so 8 year old girls don't take his lunch money.
I read the below recently from Millers wife and can't help but think that he is the lamest attempt at a villain I've ever heard of. Genuinely one of the most pathetic people I've ever read about.
"He is an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches, being like, 'Let's start the day. I am going to defeat the left, and we are going to win,'"
