I pick up the newspaper and everyday there’s a new horrible story about him that’s somehow become trite since all this oaf does is disparage other, loaf about, and take what he can from others to engorge himself. He’s ruining this country in every way, shape, and form but somehow he has millions of cult followers. He’s above any punishment yet forces us to suffer his existence like some sort of sick, kafkaesque joke. This absolute piece of shit has no redeeming qualities and yet we let him keep breathing air. It’s impossible to scroll online without seeing his gross orange face pop up on screen. I swear if I hear him say “I hate Mondays” or “I love lasagna” one more time I am going to lose it. Save us from this Garfieldian agony.

    Only if it’s from natural causes. In case you hadn’t figured it out sooner, he’d otherwise become a martyr. You think the Charlie Kirk stupidity is bad? Imagine how bad it world be if the cult’s object of worship was popped. Such a martyrdom would give the cult something to rally around after his end. If he dies naturally, however, the cult is FAR more likely to descend into infighting with a side of conspiracy theory, and tear itself apart as all the horrible people tried to scramble for whatever they could get by stomping on each other. Cults are complex monsters but have ways to survive the death of their leaders.

      Yeah, all the morons were celebrating Kirks death. Making memes and videos and some even calling for the rest of his family to be murdered as well. Even his kids!!! And what happened? His popularity went through the roof. He was just some name before. A talking head that you heard about had said something dumb every now and again. Now everyone knows who he is, and worse those on the right are all singing his praises and turning point USA exploded with millions in donations and over 100,000 requests to start new chapters.

      When that dude did take shot at Trump, it only energized and emboldened MAGA and conservatives in general. Contributions, voter turnout, volunteers, all increased dramatically. And, we then had to have that fucking photo plastered everyone afterwards of “triumphant” fist bump right after.

      People celebrate this shit, but fuck me, its the worst fucking thing you can do. And history shows this. When MLK was killed, same thing happened. Support for his cause went through the roof. Doing the very opposite of what his killers would have wanted. Gandhi, Harari, Biko, Malcolm X, Kennedy, and many, many more, all killed hoping to achieve one goal, but ending up strengthening the resolve of those they hoped to intimidate or control. Hell, even Caesar’s assassination over 2000 years ago proves this point. They killed him to save the Republic, and in doing so, destroyed the Republic and The Empire was born.

      History is clear, just leave people to fuck up on their own. Killing them rarely works.

    Much like how Trump’s second term makes us wish for the innocence of his first term, what comes after Trump will be worse. Nothing ever gets better. All things deteriorate until they break and are replaced.

    Even though things are worse than they have ever been, America today is the best it’s ever going to be again. When the history books are written about this era we will see the 2020’s as America’s second great antebellum.

    The thing is, dark money and Russian disinformation have installed a political machine in place that Trump is just the face of. As the face of this he has disturbed institutions of government and American life, as well as globally, which I think will take years to repair. It’s a global far right power grab, so even if he does die, there’s still a lot to fix.

    However it’s his peculiar charisma that for whatever reason these people respond to in ways that they don’t to traditional dyed in the wool Republicans like Romney or McCain that is why they’ve been so successful, and when he dies finding a replacement for him will be difficult for them. The journalist Maggie Haberman says the way he will go into a room of these people and charm everyone in there is genius, really, even though his terrible personality is what his campaign was based on, really. He makes them laugh, my Canadian coworker who isn’t in any way a MAGA still likes him because he makes her laugh, which makes no sense because he’s not funny, but it’s the shock of him openly being what all of them really are underneath, racist and hateful and bigoted, that seems funny, I think anyway. His weird appeal probably can’t be replicated by anyone else.

    So in my opinion him dying will have a major impact on the success of this political monstrous machine they’ve created, without question, but they’ve wrecked a lot of things along the way that will take a lot to restore, and my guess is that the Democrats will just let some things stay as they are.

    Joking aside, I do always celebrate when Republicans die. I’m basically exactly the type of person they pretend is the average leftist, even though 90% (or more) of folks are normal and don’t wish death on their enemies.

    This is my prepared bottles of rum, dedicated to when I no longer needs to share a planet with these bastards

    Currently I have bottles for:

    Trump, Putin, Musk, Murdoch and Orban.

    The last one is what has been declared “The bottle of the unknown bad guy”, it is meant for when I find out about a person dying and my immediate feeling is “Good riddance”.

      I have a whole ass case of assorted fine Lebanese wine for Natenyahu, stashed away in my family’s old home in the mountains.

      Here’s hoping he doesn’t get to it before I do.

      This is doubly appropriate, because I loathe rum. I may unashamedly steal this idea, but with whisky :)

        Top tip, see if you can get a present box like this, with the printed ribbons it looks really professional.

        To print the ribbons I used a Brother label maker with cloth bands you can print on.

        One mistake I made was using a sans serif font, a proper serif font like Times New Roman would have looked way classies

          Me, what?

          I was just calling out Vance since he might well be WAY worse than trump if given the chance and the heritage foundation as driver in the back; the tech bros as people helping them since they see goals align.

      Best brand of rum I’ve ever tried. Their Jamaican casks are my favorites, and the OFTD Overproof and 3 Stars for when I can’t find those.
