He should definitely do the last one
I hate it when people fantasizes with the death of that asshole.
Because 1) if he dies, he will be immediately elevated to god status. Not good. Case in point: Venezuela.
And 2) I want that asshole to spend his days in prison, even if it's house arrest.
Idc if he ascends to God status, because he's already there to his ilk. If he wasn't alive, he wouldn't be able to do anything else bad, and I wouldn't have to here his stupid voice anymore. He might be a martyr, but he'd be the best kind of martyr. A dead one.
Isn't being dead one of the main prerequisites for being a martyr?
As I was typing it out I thought that, and almost looked it up, but then I thought, can't a living prisoner also be a martyr? In end I didn't verify, and I am probably wrong. The essence of what I meant still stands though, and that's what's important.
I just threw it into duckduckgo. It came back with the American heritage dictionary having 6 definitions that were evenly split between death and great suffering.
Case in point: Venezuela. More extreme, yet more obvious point: Jesus and Christianity.
Once Chávez died, his legacy was cemented.
Once Jesus (the man) died, well, you know the rest. 2024 years of religious bullshit. Two millennia!
You think Trump can't do anything bad dead? You don't know his base. I could see his most extremist fans doing real damage in the name of their dead savior. For decades to come.
I think his legacy is as far reached as it's going to get. He will never reach the status of either of your points. There may be the outliers that elevate him, but the masses won't care.
I hope you're right.
The lying, adulterous, treasonous, traitor is well-beyond there....
You have no idea how much more he can get. Chavez was already all that too whe he was alive. People celebrated his death, and then a month later there was a collective "oh shit....!"
