I want him to die. Preferably screaming, bloody, and on fire.

I'll have to settle for quietly in relative comfort. But dead is dead so I'll fuckin take it.

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 hours ago

His legs are probably giving him pain.

I hope they are, anyway.

Trippy-trippy-trip.

Those Air Force One stairs are awfully steep.

Do you think the MAGA movement will fall apart without Trump?

[-] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 18 points 6 hours ago

Yes. That's how cults work.

Mormonism survived the death of their first leader.

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

That is patently false. Mormonism splintered when John Smith died and there was a lot of infighting over leadership. Like it's easy to check with the least effort.

The only reason it survived was that Brigham Young was charismatic and managed to keep it together. Who's gonna do the same for MAGA?

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Nothing I said was false, your own comment confirmed it. I didn't say Trump will have a replacement for maga, but the precedence is set. It's possible they'll keep going. If not exactly maga they'll still be awful ignorant people.

The Mormons are mobsters disguised as a religion. Not the same thing. It's a lot harder to find a true believer Mormon than a true believer MAGAt.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I grew up mormon, it's full of true believers. I do hope they implode soon though, they can only change the story so many times.

[-] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 2 points 5 hours ago

I grew up around Mormons and currently live in one of the Mormoniest places on earth. There definitely are true believers to be found at the bottom of the pyramid. Otherwise, most of the ones I worked with knew damn well it is a racketeering scheme, and they're playing along.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

That I believe. I've never dealt with anyone above the stake (area) level. I can only imagine trying to keep the belief while knowing more stuff than they tell the masses.

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Only if the cult is too small to cross a certain threshold. Otherwise it will keep growing.

[-] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Yep. It'll splinter into factions. Tear itself apart with infighting.

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

That would be optimal.

[-] KingOfSleep@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago

I'm eager to find out.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

While I'm boycotting travel there now... My next planned trip to the US will be for one helluva funeral party!

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 5 hours ago

I can't wait for the news coverage: The cemetery is begging people to stop urinating and defecating on Trump's grave

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

A lot of people want a dictatorship (or a similar repressive regime) - thinking they will be safe from what the regime would do ("If I howl with the wolves I will never get eaten by a wolf").
