Is this a trap? I think a rule here is that one is not to wish harm or death on anyone even if it’s an outside party and not another poster. So, do I lie, or do I risk a reprimand?
Good point. I will bet dollars to doughnuts (hmm, maybe that needs to be sawbucks to doughnuts now) that Hillary dressed in a ninja suit would feature in a few .
This is NOT wishing death. It is what would happen IF he died. This has been speculated upon in several threads already, as what would occur elections-wise.
I think the Right would claim it WASN’T “natural causes”. They would claim a Left conspiracy. A Trump clone would seize the banner to rally the troops and become the new hero of the Right.
Trump did not create the forces that he ultimately harnessed into winning the Presidency, and then used to increase his vote total four years later. Nor is he so unique that only he could reassemble the Trumpist coalition, especially now that he’s proved it can be a winner. I expect that Trump’s effect on our politics will outlive him by decades.
I can’t see how it would be overall bad. I’m sure CTs would sprout like lies at a Trump press conference but maybe some GOP pols would get a spine and push back on The Steal narrative.
Of course there would be a mad rush to the grave site by some Republicans to try and pick up his mantle, so maybe not.
