Agreed. If Trump were to assume room temperature today, the base would still be radicalized. He would be deified and the right-wing media would go on feeding their fantasies.

No matter the natural cause, about 3 seconds later a conspiracy would be hatched about how he was murdered by the тАЬDeep StateтАЭ. It would be an article of faith among these people in a week.
That's my primary apprehension about any scenarios involving his death. He needs to live as long as necessary for his fall to be complete. Only after his trials and convictions (fingers crossed) and, ideally, some wallowing in prison, would I be more comfortable. Until then: 1) he didn't pay his due; and 2) his potential for martyrdom is greatest amongst the largest number of people. The martyrdom will happen regardless, but I'd like to contain the scope of believers as much as possible.

If they lose enough elections(although who knows how many losses it would take?), do you think that it will make a difference?

Exactly. it never occurs to them that real Deep State would have prevented his win and/or had him taken care of long before this much damage was done.
Yeah, this is it. Trumpism is here to stay for a huge chunk of these people. Forever. ItтАЩs honestly almost depressing.
If he were to die, followers would gather three days after his burial to await his second coming.
Ben,
Three years later he will be just a distasteful memory.
From your mouth to God's ears.
Just like those loons who went down to Dallas to await JFK.
