        At this point any attempt will be deemed to have foreign origins.

      It sounds like Trump becoming a martyr is a massive problem. Sorry for my ignorance, but would it be a problem to explain how?

        Trump’s camp is full of conspiracy theorists. Being assassinated would lead to many of his followers thinking it happened because progressives saw the danger in him winning a second term.

        The better option for politics in America is for as much of his actions to come to light as possible so his own followers can come to the correct conclusion on their own: he’s a liar and a fraud.

          I mean bless you but that ain’t going to happen.

          Many of those people need literally years of deprogramming and even then the prognosis is probably quite poor.

          What would be more helpful is to give high school kids a mandatory course in digital marketing and communications. Let them literally see dollars rolling onto an account after something is posted online and monetised. No one seems so distinguish between ads and facts anymore. Seent it on Insta? Shit’s as real as the air you’re breathing, to many people these days. Given the opportunity to understand why someone would post BS online and to connect the dots that it’s literally for a few cents of attention I think that society would change for the better.

      And…

      The Iranian motivation to kill Trump is believed to stem from a desire for revenge over his decision when he was president to order the US strike that killed Maj Gen Qassim Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds force in January 2020.

      And he pulled out of a mutually beneficial nuclear treaty so that he could slap a bunch of sanctions on them.

      As other people have said, it would be way worse to have him him assassinated. If it’s looking like he’s going to lose, I could see the people who want the US unstable to prefer assassinating him instead.

    By far the best outcome for the GOP is for Trump to get got.

    They can win elections on this forever, and walk in any solid corpo-fascist they want under a Maga hat, for instance jd Vance.
