    I don’t want Trump to be assassinated.

    I want him to die of a heart attack on the toilet or in prison, though I doubt the second one is possible because rich asshole.

    Assassinations make martyrs. I want his base to get tired of worshipping a feeble old man and move on.

    What I DON’T want is him being elevated as the Republican mascot on t-shirts and signs as the defacto symbol of their idiocy for the rest of MY life. When this cycle is over, I really don’t want to have to see his orange clown asshole face again, let alone as the newest iteration of the confederate battle/don’t tread on me flag they wave around town to be annoying.

    Let him be forgotten and fade into obscurity. It’s what he wouldn’t want the most.

      I wouldn’t mind either.

      I recognize the risks of martyrization, but only for a movement that has certain intents and goals. Many of Trump’s base can’t even agree on what it is they like about him. They had such a hard time finding a VP that they ended up with a heap like Vance, while the Democrats were willing to let theirs become President.
