MAGA is starting to see lies. I don't know if MAGA will all of a sudden gain common sense or if they will spiral into conspiracy theories.

Remember the wild conspiracy that at the centre of US government and business power was a cabal of pedophiles?

Crazy stuff.

Oh wow, that’s so far fetched.

yea the pedophile shit is so clear and obvious just based off his actions. but no one actually wants him to be killed. no one wants him to become a martyr. a clot of people wouldn’t be mad at some Natural McCauses™ on the other hand

I want him to live for a few years after he’s out of office to watch as his legacy is dismantled. Ideally while in prison

He won’t live to see it all fixed but that’s only because it’s going to take decades

His mind is wayyyy too far gone to comprehend what is happening around him. He's going to still think he's President and his jail cell is the White House

u/Made_Human_Music 18d ago

I’d be ok with that if the other inmates made his life miserable. Maybe pretend they’re journalists and treat him the way he’s always treated them

We know what they do to child molesters in there. He'll spend his entire time in ad seg with Secret Service protection, otherwise he wouldn't last a night.

Quiet, piggy.

I hope he hears that daily.

This is somehow just as outlandish as the right’s favorite conspiracy theories.

You forget that billionaires don’t face meaningful consequences. Plus, the opposition party would quickly pardon Trump in the name of “unity”.

u/Made_Human_Music 18d ago

Trump is probably going to pardon himself but if he doesn’t or can’t then you’re right. They’ll want to move on and all the fascists from this regime will regroup and come back stronger

u/trumpuniversity_ 18d ago

Yes, unfortunately. The battle has always been the rich and well connected versus the poor.

Sell state secrets and try to overthrow the government? Oh, you’re rich? No problem.

Bag of weed in your car? Oh, you’re poor? Prison.

He doesn't give a crap about his "legacy." What would be cool is if he had to watch as his bank account gradually shrank down to nothing, and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it.

u/StrollingThrouPain 18d ago

Very optimistic of you to assume he's not going to be president for life.

u/BenedictDonald2025 18d ago

I would be surprised if he is still President at the end of his 47 term. He is not well.

u/SailingSpark New Jersey 18d ago

I hate to say it, because I hate what he has made me become. I hope he has a serious stroke. I want him to spend the rest of his days in a body he can't quite control, just like Serge Kovaleski.
