Political violence may stop Trump the man, but do you think it’ll stop Trumpism? No. It won’t. Instead, some authoritarian jackwagon who actually knows how to play the game will step up into Trump’s shoes, and ride his assassination straight into the White House. Then they’ll dismantle Democracy so they can’t lose again, and the only way we get them out of power is by bleeding a whole fucking lot. The good news is it’s some unhinged Republican who took a shot at Trump, so it may take some of the wind out of Trump’s sails on this.
Wow. You are sure of yourself there. Absolutely no way at all that Desantis, Haley, or Ramaswamy might not pick up SOME of Trump’s votes? Especially if Trump was assassinated? No chance at all the MAGAts won’t line up behind whoever takes on the reins?
All I think would need to happen is the candidate stepping in for Trump says he’s gonna make the Left pay by making sure everything Trump was going to do gets done. I don’t share your optimism that assassinating Trump will make our job any easier. In fact, I think there’ll be plenty of Trumpers with rifles looking for a few Liberals to make pay for their guy being killed.
Failed political violence makes stopping Trump harder.

They’d still need a figurehead to become the President. Who could it even be, without splintering Trump’s coalition into disparate factions?
If you truly believe this, I don’t know what to tell you. If enough of the Left believe this, we’re lost.
Ron Desantis will GLADLY step up and take over from Trump. And he’s a bit more competent than the Shitgibbon.
He can’t win, though. He’s a loser.
Pretty much all of Trump’s hangers on are losers. They have zero charisma and voters hate them. Without Trump they’re toast.

But you do you. I’m done here.
