His cult will vote for him, expecting his resurrection.
If a rapist felon can be president, why not a rapist felon corpse?
The rest of the world breathes a sigh of relief.
We kinda have a lot riding on the US remaining a relatively incorrupt democratic superpower.
Putin is very obviously angling to start a world war with the US as a useful-idiot ally if trump gets even a day in office again.
Liberals completely drop their guard and the republicans put someone up who is actually smart but still follows the far right agenda. Trump is chaotic (inept) evil at best, but the danger is getting lawful intelligent evil in.
The trumpanzees would lose their fucking minds. Trump could choke to death on Putin’s dick on live TV and it’d still be pitched as some kind of deep-state hit job.
There would likely be a lot of violence.
While I wouldn’t wish death on anyone, it would probably be one of the better things to happen to American politics this year, as you’d essentially be beheading the MAGA movement - it is unlikely that anyone else could retake those reigns with how centred the movement is around Trump specifically, man’s practically worshipped like a new Jesus to them.
The Maga movement is definable as a High Control Organization, and Trump is the Prophet.
If he dies one of two things could happen, either 1) a new “great leader” is able to consolidate the base and keep the movement going, or 2) nobody is able to recreate that charisma enough to reform the movement, and as a result the entire thing collapses in on itself.
Trump suddenly dropping dead of old age would make the second very likely, he made a point of making the top echelons of the RNC dangerous to anyone who could make option one happen, because he sees anyone capable of that as a challenger to his authority. The king has no heir.
I genuinely think Trump dying of old age would produce similar results to the Republican Party that the Deaths of JFK and RFK (not the brain worm one) had on the Democratic Party. The fact that his base of support is on the older side would probably add to the despair of the whole thing, being a reminder that their time is similarly short.
I don’t think we’ll see very many of the cult snap out of the delusion, but we’d certainly see some have rather public breakdowns facing the absolute nothingness their devotion has wrought.
At best, they got a high for a few moments and returned to the state of despair they had been previously chasing the high to escape, at worst, they’ve lost all their support system to the sheer disgust they’ve felt over the cultist’s indoctrination, leading to the wam bam combo of the despair in combination with inescapable loneliness, remember, a lot of these people are really just the “make the kids come back to thanksgiving again!” caucus.
I don’t think we’ll see infighting or civil warring among the ranks of the Redcaps, what we’ll see is people who think that expressing grief makes you weak attempt to cope with what they’ll see as their messiah just dying unceremoniously from the same hand that’s reaching closer and closer for them every day, and before they got the rewards of vindication they had been promised by him.
Wow, i would like you to describe more in detail what these people think, your depiction so far is very clear
They’re basically all children who never grew up. They’re nostalgic for when they were young and the world wasn’t as scary feeling, and decades of being told that those times weren’t the best for everyone have prompted them to backlash and double down. Trump is their messiah because he made them feel unjudged wanting to return to their childhood times of simplicity. Another reason why him dying of old age would really put a lot of these people well into the depressive mindset.
I mockingly refer to this dynamic as them clinging to him having made them feel safe to say the N word, but having dealt with my own missing my childhood brought on by my mom hitting a very solid old people decline milestone, I’ve learned to be understanding if not sympathetic to what’s actually going on here.
Of course over tens of millions of cult members there are other parts in each individual, undiagnosed narcissism being the biggest one, hence why they’re all so furious about the idea of their kids no contacting them over their beliefs. There’s also the despair factor of the opiate crisis and the abandonment of exurban and rural settlements by young folks.
When these people see young folks getting horny for a highly developed high speed rail network, what they see is young people conspiring to not even have to come visit when passing through on a road trip anymore, and making city roads less accomodating to trucks and minivans in favor of pedestrianization just rubs salt in the wound by making them unable to go confront them for never calling anymore.
The narcissistic aspect really nails it. These are people who cannot, are probably literally incapable of, seeing past themselves and their own feelings and views. I love how you phrased it as “they see is young people conspiring to not even have to come visit.”
I know some other Republican sycophant will fill the vacuum, but please don’t tempt me with a good time. I want to live long enough to throw an obituary party.

Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to remember a tremendous life, a life like no other, believe me. Donald J. Trump, a man of great success, unmatched, really. He built an empire, folks, a fantastic, beautiful empire. The Trump Organization, Trump Tower, the best real estate, absolutely the best. And let’s not forget, he was the 45th President of the United States, a job he did like no one else could.
He made America great again, folks. Jobs, jobs, jobs, everywhere. The economy was booming, the best economy we’ve ever seen, they say. He fought hard, so hard, for the American people. Drained the swamp, big league. He dealt with foreign leaders, and they respected him. They did, they really did.
Donald J. Trump was a family man, a fantastic father, and a wonderful husband. Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, Tiffany, and Barron, all incredible, wonderful people. He loved them dearly, and they loved him.
He will be remembered as a patriot, a winner, a man who never stopped fighting for what he believed in. He believed in America, folks. He believed in you. And he will be missed. But we will carry on, we will keep fighting, and we will never forget the legacy of Donald J. Trump. Thank you, thank you very much.
Far too coherent. There isn’t even any random tangents.
And more importantly, how would affect LeBron’s legacy.
Well the former presidency will leave office after January 20th regardless of if the election takes place, but there is a solid chance a new candidate doesn’t obtain enough delegates for that party to put them on the ballot and that the election does in fact take place.
