    So, you think that if Trump dies in office Vance won’t be worse? Vance is younger and smarter and ready to do anything to stay in power.

      Nah, never said that. And if Trump is getting pot shots, you think Vance won’t? The true check against the fascists is always violence. It is the only language they respect. I fully believe if they try their little coup, things will turn to shit real fast.

        Fascists have had their asses kicked in numerous elections.

        Also, you seem to think that there’s going to be some magic number where the assassinations magically give us a good government. What’s much, much more likely is that as soon as Trump dies all elections are cancelled and all MAGoos are deputized and Kyle Rittenhouse is the new Attorney General.

          Yeah, that does seem pretty likely. I also think civil war would become very likely after a stunt like that. Great movie idea actually. The ethnofascists decide that Trump being assassinated could actually galvanize a full white supremacy uprising. So they do it. Vance predictably circles the wagons and declares martial law. The confedernazis start lynching. And then all hell breaks loose.

            Life is not a fucking movie or video game. A lot of people would die. It would not be “like, totally awesome dude”.

              Didn’t say it would be awesome. It would really suck. Lots of people dead. Yep. But given the current status quo, lots of people are already dead. So is it the rate of death that bothers you?

                  It is a question that matters. Why is the current rate of death not already “worse”? We currently seem unable to halt it. It is already unbearable and horrible. And it won’t stop after the election regardless of who wins. That sad truth is that those in power, those with money, simply don’t care about it. It is already “worse.” The president has less control over foreign aid than you believe.

                    …math?? 3 dead people is worse than 2 dead people, again I ask what kind of stupid question is that?
