Evil people always last longer than you think. I'm not sure whether Trump is actually evil or the evil is a byproduct of extreme narcissism combined with staggering stupidity.
I heard a theory the other day that the thing that makes Trump Trump is that he speaks on a fourth grade level because he's just that dumb. He politically engages people who are too ignorant and disinterested in politics to do more than check Trump's name and ignore other Republican candidates. I saw it here in my own state where was something like an 800k vote discrepancy between Trump and conservative Supreme Court candidates. It's why districts that Trump won by double digits flip hard for Dems in special election's and non-presidential elections.
What that means is, when Trump dies, the Republican Party is pretty much fucked if they haven't achieved full on fascism by then. I'm not smart enough to know whether that theory is correct, but I really want it to be.
Hitler died at 56. Mussolini was 61.
To be fair, neither of those deaths were "natural causes" as it were.
Dunno what you mean. Hitler's brain naturally stopped working due to high speed application of external force. Mussolini's brain stopped working due to a natural oxygen shortage.
Real ubermensch have titanium skulls and aren't addicted to oxygen.
Kissinger was 99.
Fuck me, you're right. What about Thatcher?
I’m pretty sure evil is a longevity elixir, unless something intervenes.
It helps having access to the internal organs of undocumented immigrant children.
I'm just kidding. I hope.
Man. I know you are joking. But you are also saying the quiet part out loud that a lot of us are thinking.
Who would notice if a few compatible with Trump immigrants disappeared at the border? Would you believe their friends? Or would you just assume the cartels got to them?
That’s always my fear as a minority in the USA post 9/11. Due process seems somewhat gone now too. They could send me to Uganda and people around me (friends and neighbors) would probably assume I did something to deserve it or… not even notice.
Intervention, you say
I mean.... those are special circumstances. Sometimes people give karma a helping hand.
Trump is the beast from the book of revelation, his followers even wear his mark on their foreheads.
Eh. I don't believe in superstition but... I get it, he certainly bears an uncanny number of markers of the Antichrist. To the degree it seems it should be an obvious warning to the believers.
Evil is the absence of empathy, they are all most definitely evil.
I am hopeful of this as a theory. I admit to being curious if there are any historical allegories to this.
Based on trumps diet he should have been dead 10 years ago. He has long outstayed his welcome.
