him dying would've turned him into a martyr and basically solidified him as a saint, if not a god, to the maga crowd. I can imagine the repercussions of that. there's also the possibility that someone worse replaces him, someone just as fascist and selfish but twice as competent, and that would be disastrous. y'know, the whole "guys I went back in time and killed Hitler" trope/joke.

[–] retrospectology@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He's already a god to his followers. People literally paint him as the second coming of Jesus Christ. There is no one worse in this moment than Donald Trump.

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sure there are people who are worse. There are people behind their movement that have not stuck their head up and are competent.

[–] retrospectology@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Sure, yet none of them are able to do what Trump does. That's why it's taken 40+ years for them to get to this point. The Mitch McConnells and such might be politically saavy, but they don't have the "charisma" of Donald Trump to actually pull off the end game. That's why they all protect him so much, he's a cult figure, which can be difficult to fabricate.

Yeah but then he couldnt be in the oval, which is what actually matters lol.

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

others have made a terrifying point that his death could incite another instruction like Jan 6.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Which biden would be prepared to deal with. Keep in mind that Trump was in office for Jan 6. One might even consider that a good thing, as this time with a competent president there would be less victims, and more insurrectionists getting their voting rights taken away.

[–] veniasilente@lemm.ee -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

¿Biden competent? He's probably gonna die of old age by Jan 5, and if not, is going to be ordering who knows what crap with his dementia on Jan 6...

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You're going to have to do better if you want to fool anyone, estúpido troll ruso.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Don't engage, just mark him as a right wing troll with a user note so you can remember not to engage with him.

[–] veniasilente@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I'll give you one (1) pity point for jumping right to the low hanging tree category for personal attack.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 13 points 4 months ago

I still think that would be better

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 44 points 4 months ago

Trump at his next public appearance.

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

this is true...

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

and basically solidified him as a saint, if not a god, to the maga crowd.

I'm pretty sure that's already true, but I see your point overall.

[–] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

A lot of them already called him "the God Emperor", so...
