    You seriously think that having him get assassinated would make things better? Do you have any idea what a martyr is? You think you don’t like him right now just wait how much you would hate the guy if he was assassinated. God you would never hear the end of it.

    Your best bet is that he doesn’t fuck anything up too spectacularly in the next 4 years and then we can all forget he ever existed and hopefully never speak his name again.

      At least given him a few months to alienate and turn on his staff and cabinet first. Let him throw out the first choice psychophants who would gladly carry on his program.

      I would think it would seriously make the GOP lose all their steam. They need Trump. Any attempted replicates are not met with the same weird adoration.

        I think you are seriously underestimating what can happen when you assassinate a controversial figure like Trump. It would 100% only make things worse.

        To wish he would get killed is unbelievably short sighted thinking. I understand the thought process on a surface level but it would be a terrible fucking idea.

        Talk to literally any historian ever and see what they have to say about assassinating highly controversial figures.

          Just gotta make it not look like an assassination. Has probably happened so often throughout history, but we can’t know it works because it has worked.

      Yeah, his stupid name and visage would be plastered on just about everything in the nation. Just like Ronnie Raygun - even after Iran/Contra, which topped Watergate - the qons spent a lot of time and energy on trying to rewrite history on the guy and wanted him on currency, FFS. But if Ronnie Raygun was their cocaine, donvict is their meth and I don’t hear them going on about Raygun so much any more.

      But yeah, if donvict were to be killed, they’d make a lot of it. If he just kinda fades out as the doddering old dumbass that he actually is, I bet the shine comes off.
