He'll become a martyr for maga in that way.

It's better if one night he gets an aneurysm, throws up and dies suffocating in his puke

Honest question, would that even matter? I feel like someone that is so extremely polarising would have a very low martyrdom effect. His followers are basically already cult like, it's hard to imagine them being more loyal or radical than they already are, and people that aren't his followers probably wouldn't be moved to the right by his death.

Like if he died in the shooting, do you really think things would be worse right now?

Then they'll just continue his work. It's not like he came up with any of it. None of this is an original thought. They're just seeing how little push back they get and moving to the next step.

He could die in the most widely documented self inflicted injury at age 100 and I wouldn't put it past people to consider it a conspiracy
