A woman who mailed then-President Trump a threatening letter that contained ricin weeks before the 2020 election was sentenced to 262 months in prison on Thursday, the Department of Justice announced.
Honestly, good.
You think trump’s fans are being bad now, bad back then. Just think of what would’ve happened if they got to Matyr him.
If he’s to die, it should be rotting in prison for the crimes he’s committed.
If he dies of a heart attack or something before trial, his supporters will insufferably claim nothing was ever proven and will act like he’s some sort of conservative JFK and demand airports be named after him.
Or they might deny his death outright and vote for him anyway
If he dies and he wins the vote, who gets the presidency? Do we T.Jefferson it: 2nd place is the new winner? Am. History was too long ago for me.
Weekend at Mar a Lago
Or claim that he was poisoned by the deep state.
ETA: Fuck this lady. She makes everyone who isn’t a MAGA shithead look bad. I want her locked up.
Why do we name airports in honor of people? Airports suck. We should name airports after bad people as punishment. “Yeah, it’s a great house but it’s in the flight path of Andy Dick International Airport.” “They lost my luggage at Cosby Field.” “I had a 6 hour layover at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.”
Many people love airports. Especially aviators.
If he died, there would’ve been a few shootings here and there but the movement would’ve died out rather quickly.
Basically business as normal then.
People say this a lot but honestly I don’t think he’d become a martyr if he died. I don’t condone assassination attempts obviously, but the key to a proper martyrdom is the people supporting you have to actually believe in what you stand for, and have to be loyal and dedicated. People who root for Trump don’t actually care about him or his policies, they just swallowed a bunch of propaganda, and are rooting more against the team they don’t like. We’ve already seen how quickly people drop Trump when he’s not their golden goose anymore. If he died, there’d be no point in following him if he isn’t spouting off buzzwords and dogwhistles constantly anymore. They’d just move on to the next guy who doesn’t like immigration or the gays. I mean, it’s not like anyone calls Hitler a martyr, or any other authoritarian dictators that have died in the past. A martyr has to be someone who inspires people beyond their death, and brings attention to a particular issue. Trump doesn’t inspire anyone, he’s just a convenient figurehead to rally behind.
Very astute.
Nah, they’re gonna be maximally awful no matter what.
