I can’t blame your dad, but it would take someone having a lot of skill and knowledge that the average person doesn’t have to get rid of him; there were two attempts in 2024, so his security is beefed up and likely not going to make the same mistakes again. Not to mention the fact that it would make him a martyr with his rabid base like it did with Charlie Kirk. On top of that, there would be jd Vance taking over, which is better bc he doesn’t have the backing that Trump has, but he’s still an asshole too and they have a propaganda machine behind them that’s extremely effective at riling up the base.
The issues here are 100% systemic and unfortunately require either congress to get their shit together or tearing the whole system down, which would require a lot of people banding together. Hopefully democracy stays intact for the midterms and we’re able to change some things as a result. At least if it doesn’t, it should be the catalyst for approaching things nondemocratically on a mass scale.
Until then, it’s worth mentioning that everyone can boycott American products and push for their governments to enact sanctions. If the economy tanks under Trump, it’s probably a lot easier to get his base to turn on him.
