While I wouldn't wish death on anyone, it would probably be one of the better things to happen to American politics this year, as you'd essentially be beheading the MAGA movement - it is unlikely that anyone else could retake those reigns with how centred the movement is around Trump specifically, man's practically worshipped like a new Jesus to them.

I don’t want someone to go kill him, but I absolutely wish that he would drop dead without the slightest moral reservation.

My only concern is that however he were to die, everyone on the right would go full conspiracy theory and blame it on the left, and somehow we’d be worse off in ways I can’t imagine right now. The right always seems to find a way to make me regret any turn of events that I thought was good.

It would be temporary chaos like when the lich king died and the scourge went berserk
