      Agreed; I’ve been enjoying some of the reactions from his pikachu-faced base that are weeping that they are locked outside and cannot see their golden god-emperor being crowned king of the universe.

      It’s funny to watch how CLOSE they are to figuring it out. But they are almost wired not to be able to put it together, or if they do, suffer under incredible pain from the cognitive dissonance because every bit of their identity is about supporting donvict, and yet…deep down, they know they were conned.

      The broligarchs and all the other important people will get to attend, inside. All the voters that donvict promised all kinds of shit to - they can stand out in the cold. Literally.

        I think that’s part of the reason why they moved it indoors away from the public. It’s only 27°F/-2.7°C outside, it’s not that cold.

        You seriously think that having him get assassinated would make things better? Do you have any idea what a martyr is? You think you don’t like him right now just wait how much you would hate the guy if he was assassinated. God you would never hear the end of it.

        Your best bet is that he doesn’t fuck anything up too spectacularly in the next 4 years and then we can all forget he ever existed and hopefully never speak his name again.

          I would think it would seriously make the GOP lose all their steam. They need Trump. Any attempted replicates are not met with the same weird adoration.

            I think you are seriously underestimating what can happen when you assassinate a controversial figure like Trump. It would 100% only make things worse.

            To wish he would get killed is unbelievably short sighted thinking. I understand the thought process on a surface level but it would be a terrible fucking idea.

            Talk to literally any historian ever and see what they have to say about assassinating highly controversial figures.

          Yeah, his stupid name and visage would be plastered on just about everything in the nation. Just like Ronnie Raygun - even after Iran/Contra, which topped Watergate - the qons spent a lot of time and energy on trying to rewrite history on the guy and wanted him on currency, FFS. But if Ronnie Raygun was their cocaine, donvict is their meth and I don’t hear them going on about Raygun so much any more.

          But yeah, if donvict were to be killed, they’d make a lot of it. If he just kinda fades out as the doddering old dumbass that he actually is, I bet the shine comes off.
