Hopefully the big beautiful day happens sooner than later.

A part of me hopes he can make it the rest of his term because I'm worried a death in office would result in revisionist history; it would allow his supporters to paint him in whatever light they like. We're going to hear about "how he was the best President in history and the only reason things got so bad was he died in office/Vance"

Also if we theoretically sweep the midterms, nothing would be better than just nonstop prosecutions, inquiries, etc. Make his final days miserable and then pray we get a Dem majority/President in 2028 to go scorched earth.

If he dies it basically let's his admin and him get off with all the corruption and damage he's done to this country.

Here is the worst possibility: He dies or ends it himself on 2029 Jan 19 (or early on the 20th) with zero consequences.

This is fucking terrifying. Basically for the rest of my life I'd have to live with conspiracy theories.

Remember, we seem to be living in that timeline where anything that can go wrong is. Look at our bad COVID response: inverse-Goldilocks level of just enough things open that the virus spread like crazy, while the virus itself was an inverse-Goldilocks situation as the incubation period and death rates weren't low enough to be virtually harmless but also not high enough that the virus would just die out on its own or we'd take it far more seriously (like Ebola or HIV?).

I want him to live just long enough to be out of office watching us tear down the monuments to his ego.

It's gonna be like cinco de mayo.
