None of his followers would believe it was natural causes and he would be worshipped as a martyr as people took to the streets to commit hate crimes in his name.

On one hand agreed, on the other hand Anglos are just looking for any excuse to commit hate crimes imo. If it destabilizes the Great Satan I say fingers crossed- hopefully the energies can be focused on cracKKKer and bourgeois infighting instead. Balkanize balkanize balkanize timmy-pray

Yeah the Dune metaphor works pretty well for Trump for a few reasons. Trump and the GOP have manipulated white supremacy and adjacent forces in America to suit their ends. Trump has been touted as a prophet and messiah among the Evangelicals and neo-Nazis who want him to go way more mask-off fascist and racist than he was in the beginning, and he keeps feeding into it to keep their support.

Paul is seen as a messiah among the Fremen and he uses that position to meet his own desire for revenge. However, between the first and second books, the Fremen go beyond what he needed them for and basically genocide an entire galaxy in their religious zeal.

I know exactly what would happen. I'd laugh really hard

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I'd probably give my self a hernia.

I also want to add that I think that once Trump kicks it the Republican party is going to start a civil war on itself between the QAnoners, the Peter Thiel cult, and the wave of former "never Trump" types in the suburbs who have gone to the Dems but will go right back at the earliest opportunity. Vance wins the election, then will try to unite the factions and fail spectacularly, and people will be calling him a lame duck six months into his term. The R's won't be able to unite in 2028 so the Dems will have to work extra hard to throw that election, but in the 2030s I think Thiel will win out by converting a critical mass of QAnoners into true believers who think that Chat GPT's latest model is a general artificial intelligence and the former never Trumpers won't have any problem with the party being run by right wing tech bros.

It’d be very funny if every election, the republican candidate has to visit his grave

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Fingers crossed. For however long the bipartisan parties and the devil YanKKKee regime exists, anyways

Blue MAGA would performatively scold leftists for celebrating his death while secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Red MAGA would think he got poisoned by the CIA and shoot up a poll booth or something.

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

Obviously they will believe he is still alive and that he won the 2024 election (and 2020).

It would be fantastic if he died on the podium mid-speech for the memes n gifs. I think a stroke would be funniest since we wouldn't really be able to tell

Crowd erupts into cheers thinking it's part of his speech

A Redd Foxx moment. He was a standup comedian and he had the role as the father on the 1970s sitcom Sanford and Son. One of his gags was to pretend he was having a heart attack.

Redd Foxx

Death

Foxx did his scripted part of the scene (walking across the back of a chair) while being livid. However, he fell to the floor immediately after doing so. Reese said that nobody initially suspected anything was wrong. Foxx, after all, was famous for having Fred Sanford fake heart attacks on Sanford and Son and was particularly skilled at pratfalls. Reese went to the floor when Foxx did not immediately rise and heard him say "get my wife" twice. Reese called for paramedics.

According to Joshua Rich at Entertainment Weekly: "It was an end so ironic that for a brief moment castmates figured Foxx–whose 1970s TV character often faked coronaries–was kidding when he grabbed a chair and fell to the floor."

He would still beat KDolph in the electoral college.

Vance beats kamala in the election

[–] ped_xing@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

That sliver of never-Trumpers would do it at this point and Trumpers will show up just to fill in the bubble next to his name one last time. Democrats blame Kamala's dad and purge everyone with based relatives. pete in shambles.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

I'll need a new bit account pete-eat

[–] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

I'll say kamala beats Vance. Dudes a fucking weiner and the only charisma he has is saying that Trump picked him.

The republican party has essentially spent 10 years doing nothing but convincing their base that Trump is the only person who can do anything and nothing can get done without him. They will find another hog to cult of personality, but the shake up after his death will be hilarious.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

I would be banned from family chat for the amount of times I’d immitate “Donald Trump burning in hell” by audio memo

[–] SSJ3Marx@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

JD Vance is dreaming of this every hour on the hour.

I'm honestly not sure if this would help Vance or hurt him, but I do know the conspiracy theories would be hilarious.

mccrucified

He becomes the occluded Mahdi to sicko-queer people and didn't really die and is going to return on January 17th or the 20th on the innaguration to do the storm bigly, believe me

so you're saying trump can displace the totally alive 145 yo kennedy and become the truest imam

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

I'm still wanting to know more about what the Q dude that has the eagle in Dallas's deal was when all the -48 cultists went there

You don't have to hand it to them by any means, but the Q cranks have some fascinating characters

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

they'd do him like that warhammer guy and jd vance would be the first sacrifice

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

So instead of sacrificing psykers to the Astronomicon we're saccing incels?

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

Probably conspiracy theories leading to another riot like Jan 6 but much smaller.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago
[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

He'd win the popular vote and it would be president Bagger Vance
