      While we’re wishing: Lightning strike during a golf swing on a clear blue day would be a nice message

      When Trump dies, someone else will take over his role, and that other person is bound to be a lot smarter than Trump (it’s a very low bar). At this point, it seems to me like the only thing that might stop the usa’s descent into fascism, is Trump completely destroying the economy in record pace because of his unfathomable stupidity. If the usa opposition can’t defeat fascism with Trump in charge of the fascists, then they have no chance with someone like Vance in charge.

      The allies had the same dilemma with Hitler in WW2. They had a solid plan to assassinate Hitler and they really wanted to, but Hitler’s meddling incompetence was helping them win the war.

      Additionally, British officials believed that Hitler’s incompetence and flawed military tactics were, in fact, advantageous to the Allied cause. They argued that by leaving Hitler in power, the Allied forces could continue to leverage his bungling strategy against the Germans. They believed that replacing Hitler with a competent successor could pose a greater challenge, as they might be more adept at waging war against the Allies.

        Smarter? Quite possibly.

        But I’d say the people who are smarter are already manipulating him behind the scenes anyhow. Anyone coming after would at least have less of a cult following hopefully
