The problem is that Trump isn't actually in charge. He's just the figurehead who holds everyone's attention.
You'd have to remove half the supreme court, Congress, the electoral college, and the entire Heritage Foundation if you wanted a chance at fixing the US.
Trump on his own is a bumbling toddler who couldn't even make his own executive order to sign. I'd rather see him in a nursing home while the people who put him in power get tried for their crimes.
Make that two thirds of the Supreme Court. Most of the worst decisions have been 6-3.
you can't fix it, it needs to go
I realize theyre now all in office now, so you may be right. But did anyone notice how the bumbling idiot orange puppet was a critical part of gaining that power?
He is certainly a puppet, but maybe without that puppet, it'll be like trying to play He-Man when the kid next door took your He-Man figure.
He was just a useful TV star puppet.
He is crucial to their movement though. Most MAGA don't give a shit about anyone else. This is a cult and without dear leader it will wither.
If Iran were to turn Trump into a glob of orange meat (I mean, more than he is right now), the cult will freak out. Some will blame it on deep state. Clinton and Biden will be name dropped. But there will be nothing to keep the movement going. I think Project 2025 will start to wither as well because no one involved can capture the mob like Trump can.
Only to have Democrats fail to undo a single thing Trump did, just like in 2021. No matter how he dies, Trump and MAGA will haunt the USA for however long it has left before the inevitable collapse.
Deliberately fail
No doubt the cult would fracture
It won't end with Trump. His followers are brainwashed and will happily follow the next con man like sheep, just as they follow corrupt religious leaders. Not a critical thought in their heads. And anyone but a Dem.
Yes, but since all the bumbling toddlers in the US vote for Trump, he's a powerful figurehead. I mean, I'm all for killing the rest on your list too, but he'd be a fantastic start.
Starting with Dump would give us President Vance, who could mess things up faster
Also more likely to cause a martyr situation starting with him
imo anything that makes this shit hit rock bottom more quickly so america can rebuild as a non-nazi nation is a good move
The problem is, rock bottom has two paths out. The first is to rebuild as a non-nazi nation. The other is to go full Nazi and just stay at rock bottom for a few decades.
I don't think reality is that simple
Swap the prisoners in Gitmo for the Heritage Foundation
So the plot of Eagle Eye and Designated Survivor.
