    Nobody should want these guys to finish the job, especially before the election. That’s a recipe to end up with President Vance, and the man is an absolute moron. He makes Dan Quayle look like the spelling bee champion.

    Donald Trump doesn’t deserve to die from an assassin’s bullet. He deserves to die of natural causes, in prison.

      You are right, but I dont think the cult would unify around someone else that quickly. In fact, I think chaos that nobody that is sane would truly want would immediately ensue.

      On the other hand, every minute he is allowed to operate is a minute that extremists like the Proud Boys, Christian Nationalist, and just an unimaginable rogue gallery of others is actively injected into roles that they can cause extreme damage at.

      The unfortunate part is my second point will continue being true rather Trump is bunking in Reagan’s torment pitch or not. Mask off will be the policy going forward, just manipulative nasty shit that gets nothing done but the rich richer and the Earth sicker.

      Edit: and since I’m ranting I’d like to add; I care not one bit about “justice” served to Trump. I care only that we can recover from and avoid the circumstances that brings people like him to power. Send him to oblivion, lock him in a cell, leave him to die in an old person’s home alone once he outlives his use, whatever. I care that we notice what brings these people to power; Fear, Instability, and the abandonment of our own citizens. If we dont educate and care for one another, we are more susceptible to fascism again and again. If we dont strengthen our most vulnerable, and instead cater to those who already have everything, this will just happen again.

      Let’s not pretend that the man doesn’t know exactly what he is doing. His only deficit is in charisma.
