      Iranian Religious figures already declared a fatwa against Trump declaring him an enemy of the religion and posting a bounty that’s already like 40M dollars for his execution.

      You could probably donate to that bounty, although I am sure if you are a US citizen it runs afoul of some domestic laws.

    I’m gonna say something unpopular: canonising your worst enemies as martyrs isn’t gonna end well for anyone

      I really, really hope he dies of natural causes on live TV.

      If he’s assassinated things are going to get much worse.

        Wouldn’t it be nice to see Trump go down like a sack of potatoes mid self-aggrandizing rant at a press conference or something, and the bonk of his head off the podium to be sampled into a thousand EDM tracks from that moment until the next election?

        Can the reaper please hurry already? The guy is already standing with one foot in the grave, his mind is gone and his body is falling to pieces.

        I dunno, they’ve already done the spin up for if Trump dies even from natural causes they’ll claim he was assassinated. No matter what happens things are going to get much worse.

    People forgetting even if Trump will be or had been assassinated, Vance would just take his place and continue the train. Besides, Iran has been claiming they can do this since forever with nothing to show for it.

          Remember the bloodbath of reprisal killings that MAGA was promising to deliver for Saint Charley? What ever happened with that?

          To be a martyr you typically have to believe in something bigger than yourself. Trump can’t do that. He’s too self serving and everyone around him knows it because they wanna be just like him. He could get killed and people might try to make him a martyr, but he only pushes division and hatred and self enrichment, good luck getting anyone aside from the proud boys to rally behind that. They tried to do it with Charlie Kirk too and that amounted to fuck all.

      The hope is Vance doesn’t have the charisma to keep the cult together.

        He doesn’t need to, he’s already elected and he’s been awarded god powers to do whatever he wants…by the SCROTUS.

          And then all the politicians do the calculus that he doesn’t have the mojo to back primary candidates and then they just impeach him.

            Fine, that’s a good point, I hope so. But like the other comment says: trump is just a way for them to wash their guilt away, it could be anyone and they’ll still oblige and then you’ll find out that they weren’t being forced by anyone all along.

        Neither does Trump. I don’t know where the argument that he has some kind of Magic Secret Fascism Sauce comes from. Republicans fucking love idiots and have been rabidly supporting them for decades now, and they’ll blindly follow Vance just like they’re blindly following Trump. It could be a sentient mop with a bucket hat, they literally do not care. Trump didn’t win the election, project 2025 did.

          Charisma isn’t a universal thing, it is about appealing to a large chunk of the population but not the population as a while. In this case he has been the face for the fascist MAGA movement for like a decade now with people who constantly ignore how his policies harm them directly and still support him. He has charisma when it comes to hateful morons who want to hear a fat old white dude spout the racist shit in their heads without any kind of moral compass that would lead to being embarrassed.

          They won’t follow Vance because Vance doesn’t have the same belligerent and arrogant delivery despite saying the same hateful stuff because it is clear Vance is a try hard spineless wanna be grifter and not someone who has been an entitled shit their entire lives because they were born into wealth. Vance isn’t the strongman that the Republican party has been stoked to follow.

      There was no bullet. A shot somewhere, his ss detail pull him down and scrape his ear on something, the ss agents atart blasting and hit the people, they cover it uo.

        Someone above and behind him got shot. You can see it in the videos that it was with the fist shot.

        I’m saying he wasn’t the target.

      Well he was brain dead before the attempt, so it’s hard to tell if they missed or not.
