If you’ve been paying attention to what’s happened since, it’s hard to believe it could be worse.

If that would have happened with Trump, he’d have become a martyr.

It can always be worse, that said I agree, it would be extremely unlikely.

Better a dead martyr than a live president

One trump is gone it’s all over. They have a very tenuous grasp on a cult. It’s not going well for them. Everytime someone tried to coop it, it totally fails and when Trump tries to change the narrative, it fails. It’s been falling apart a lot longer than it’s worked. Once he’s in the ground, it’s over.

It depends how long he lives and this goes on…
The right leadership is working very very hard to remove the Democratic process and elections altogether.

Now, yes. Then, no. I don’t think anyone could have unified the MAGA right enough to win the election without Trump. If Trump hadn’t ran, I could have seen a conservative winning a normal election. Not a last minute Trump replacement though

They would’ve put desantis on there. Far more competent IMO, could be potentially more dangerous.
Dems lost 2024 because people blamed them for inflation and they had terrible PR, almost any republican would’ve won.

I seriously don’t think so at all. His geriatric ass is the driving force behind the brain dead elderly voters. They think he’s sexy you see. His rambling baby speak speaks to them. Without him I doubt they’d show up at all. Not that there’s gonna be a next election in the U.S but still. The fascist republican party has this pretty much locked down at this point. Mussolini would’ve been proud.

No. He would be gone and JD would have lost the election. Our lives would be better.

Optimistic take. I think it would have easily sparked a civil war
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 month ago
you already have a civil war, but only one side is fighting.

“Sparked”
Have you not been paying attention? We’ve been in that civil war for at least a decade, you just haven’t been paying attention because there’s nothing organized or official. But the right has been at war for years.
