Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Please be dead. I think he’s done enough damage to his own cause that if he dies, the cult of personality will be broken. Vance won’t be able to keep it up. If Trump gets killed, he becomes a martyr and they rally around his causes, but dying of natural causes is more hopeful.
If he’s dead they’ll Weekend-At-Bernie’s his corpse and get someone to shoot it, blaming “The Left™”
If he died of natural causes, what makes you think that’s how the White House would report it. They’d say he was killed and use it to create a false divisive narrative, blaming some left wing conspiracy or assassin who doesn’t exist. They’d use it to galvanise maga behind Vance blah blah blah…
No that would be to competent for them, they're gonna weekend at bernie him
AI Generated Trump videos coming.
Coming? They're already here
I meant to “prove” he’s alive.
He's sharing them himself. He can't even tell what's real or what he's said and done.
But without Trump himself directing it, they won't be able to focus that rage, it will quickly divest into the thousand little in-groups of conspiracies, backwoods nutcases screaming into the void, random nuts in trucks driving into drugstores and shooting up pizza places.
It will be chaotic sure, but it will have no cohesion. Half the people around Trump are just there to pick up his crumbs of power, the other half are delusional enough to think they have the unique charm to take his place.
When Trump dies, there won't be leadership in the republican party. They're making an effort with Vance by parading him around more and more, but the right doesn't like him. He talks too much, he sounds like a politician.
Honestly, the only person who could have possibly taken pole position and started rallying the right under his own brand of conservative charisma was Charlie Kirk. No wonder the right is so bent out of shape about it.
Curious how many will assume Vance poisoned him to become president or something like that.
It would be pretty easy to start pre-seeding this idea with memes and the like.
You hit the nail on the head re: Vance.
The cushion connoisseur occasionally pretends to give a shit about working class people (even though he doesn’t). MAGAts want their faces brazenly spat on, because they’re temporarily embarrassed billionaires and being poor makes you worthless*.
I shudder at the thought of a Kirk-led timeline though, so thank you for the silver lining.
*according to them.
I feel we might even get a "Weekend at Bernie's" situation.
Exactly my thoughts.
Even if they don't explicitly say it (which they will), the MAGA hordes will concoct their own conspiracy theories and believe them. After all, they are all QAnon alumni.
Ugh. Possible.
Honestly if he really is ill, I very much wouldn't put it past them to off him themselves and blame the "radical left" in order to kick off the civil war they keep trying for.
Why would it matter if he's sick or not? They dont care about Trump any more than they care about CK. He's just a tool that has served its purpose at this point.
