      Which ironically is the the only thing giving him any legitimacy.

      Instead of crying about him saying bloodbath for two days (but reiterating they won’t do anything to beat him electorally) he’s gotten days of free press and he gets to act like a tough guy.

      If the universal response had been “what’re you going to do get your supporters to smear shit on the wall then go home while you watch it on tv?” They’d actually put him on the backfoot.

        Oh come on the conspiracy theories about him actually being alive and hanging out with his best friend Tupac are going to be hilarious.

        Chuds are gonna post pictures of 90 year old women with perms from behind with captions like “still hiding in plain site, trust the plan”

        You don’t wanna watch a dozen Maga dudes struggle to disinter him to prove he’s not dead and accidently flop his rotting corpse with a perfectly intact toupee out on camera?

            I kind of don’t think people as a group have enough follow through to start (more of a) cult around trump. We just don’t have a collective attention span that lasts longer than a week. What we’re seeing is more like a lifestyle brand than a group of people seriously committed to ideals.

          I wish he actually believed some of the things he said. Trump taking a truly heroic dose of horse paste then shitting his guts out would have been true kino

        The internet as we know it will die with trump. Even with him alive, there are still days where I think “there’s nothing on the Internet today”
