Political violence may stop Trump the man, but do you think it’ll stop Trumpism? No. It won’t. Instead, some authoritarian jackwagon who actually knows how to play the game will step up into Trump’s shoes, and ride his assassination straight into the White House. Then they’ll dismantle Democracy so they can’t lose again, and the only way we get them out of power is by bleeding a whole fucking lot. The good news is it’s some unhinged Republican who took a shot at Trump, so it may take some of the wind out of Trump’s sails on this.

They’d still need a figurehead to become the President. Who could it even be, without splintering Trump’s coalition into disparate factions?
If you truly believe this, I don’t know what to tell you. If enough of the Left believe this, we’re lost.
Ron Desantis will GLADLY step up and take over from Trump. And he’s a bit more competent than the Shitgibbon.
He can’t win, though. He’s a loser.
Pretty much all of Trump’s hangers on are losers. They have zero charisma and voters hate them. Without Trump they’re toast.
