    counterpoint: it was a rnc figure like bannon or that guy who recently said straight up he wants civil war and it was a win-win situation. if trump dies the chosen successor would soak up the sympathy and if he survives trump gets all that sympathy. either way it’s a win for the rnc, and they never gave a fuck about killing innocent people before so don’t give me that as proof it’s not staged.

      I don’t think any successor would be able to unite republicans as effectively as Trump did. They wouldn’t go away, but Biden might have a shot at getting reelected.

      Disclaimer: Biden is too senile, and the rest of the DNC are cowards resigned to a second Trump presidency to arrange something like this.
