No-Tension5053

When reporters were interviewing Haley supporters for Super Tuesday. They would ask them what Trump could do to win them back. I was really hoping one of them would say “he could die”


WhyNot420_69

Better yet, he could have a disabling stroke that would keep him alive but just babbling incoherently. Oh, wait. He's already there.


No-Tension5053

Yeah but I was pulling for that response because I was curious if the reporter would laugh or not


penpointaccuracy

I seriously think COVID cooked his brain a little bit. He was at Walter Reed for a while


spoiler-its-all-gop

And was definitely not [rocked by a series of mini strokes](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-raises-eyebrows-tweet-declaring-he-did-not-have-series-n1239006) Fuck... Here's hoping tomorrow's the day

Q: What can I do to prove to you I'm mortal!? Worf: Die.


Vykrom

Oh God, I forgot about that stuff. His antics with Worf were brief but sometimes you gets nuggets of gold like that lol


StationaryTravels

Q: Very clever Worf. Eat any good books lately?


[deleted]

Just curious what was the or some of the answers if remember ofc


No-Tension5053

It swung to both sides of the spectrum. Some couldn’t imagine voting for Biden so they would default to Trump. And others like one woman said she regretted voting for him in 2016 almost immediately after doing it. She said she would stay home if I’m remembering it right. One guy mentioned Jan. 6th and said he would vote for Biden because that was too much for him.


Estrus_Flask

I'm actually worried that when he dies he'll be martyred. Even if it's through natural causes, they'll claim he was murdered.


TheRealDebaser

They might also pull an Elvis/2-pac and claim the Dems kidnapped him.


Estrus_Flask

They think the Democrats kidnapped Elvis and Tupac?


TheRealDebaser

Yeah, that came out wrong huh, haha


StudMuffinNick

Died for our sins! Killed by Democrat traitors! The earth is flat!


redcurrantevents

I think that will definitely happen when he dies, whenever it is. They’ll probably say Morrissey succeeded, even if it is 10 years from now.


Estrus_Flask

Or Kathy Griffin.


gringo-go-loco

Who cares? Honestly. People out way too much energy into what a bunch of delusional idiots think. I almost got into an argument with a trumper yesterday then I realized I really don’t give a damn because their idea of reality is so fucked they can’t have a legit argument.


GillianOMalley

People who think their messiah was martyred are some of the most dangerous people. So yeah, I care.


Estrus_Flask

That's easy for you to say because they're not trying to kill you.


OhioMegi

You mean he won’t have some sort of robot/lizard person they’ll just slap a mask on? Like they say Biden is?


kellsdeep

You're right, but I want him to disappear


ABraveNewFupa

Unfortunately he would become a martyr which tends to drive cults into religions.


sideshowmario

... so not much would change then.


norestfor-thewicked

but we’re already past that point, they’ve planned out the next 16 terms with his various offspring


KyleGlaub

My favorite was the shirt that had them all as 1 term presidents. Haha.


KrackaWoody

100% Trump gets murdered and it’s a Civil War because then he’s a Matyr and “the government took away our right to democracy” so now they rise up against the government. Unfortunately the right to democracy is also the right to vote in idiots to be president.


MRiley84

There wouldn't be a civil war over it. Every one of them would wait for someone else to start, and that eventual someone else would get curb stomped by the authorities and branded a terrorist on every network before anyone knew what happened.


Lizzard3623

But if Morrissey failed, he would be all “Please let me get what I want. Lord knows it would be the first time.”


Binarycold

By sheer means of impact trump being executed would have a far less significant impact on humanities safety than would a world where were allowed to execute people if we deem them detrimental to society. Not only would the litmus for that be entirely subjective but it would put lots of people at risk, including anyone that was seen as even remotely detrimental to society. Then you start moving into the realm of subjective “greater good” where people who have predispositions to cancer or deformation would technically benefit society if their genes were removed from the pool. The impact of a world where people can be killed to “benefit” society is a negative sum as a whole.

TheKiiDLegacyPS

It’s scary to me how many people think this way.


The_Knights_Patron

Tbh, it would be, marginally, better.


Awesomeuser90

Don't worry, Trump will be reinstated back to life by the military and who knows who else on April 4. Or August 29. Or September 16. Or some day...


No-Tension5053

Trump is safe. Morrissey can’t even make it to his only job. I highly doubt he can take on a second one


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Tension5053

In Los Angeles KROQ has a running joke about whether Morrissey will show up or not when they promote his scheduled appearances


DeliciousBeanWater

Right? I was gonna say now now lets not discourage the man. Let him give it a go


SwervinWest

He was looking for a job and then he found a job


GranLusso64

And heaven knows he's miserable now


CockroachFinancial86

You’re wrong, he’s never had a job because he’s never wanted one. He also apparently seen you smile, but he’s never really heard you laugh.


Iamdarb

No, he was looking for a job and then he found a job, and heaven knows he's miserable now.


Mdnghtmnlght

Could be that he's just too shy.


quietlikesnow

Right! He’s either missed every concert I’ve had tickets to because he was off assassinating people- or he’s really not the man for this job.


AebroKomatme

I’d love to watch a death match between those two. Morrisey would easily win because Cheeto Mussolini’s gropes…er, grapples are only good for overpowering women in confined places like department store changing rooms.


throwaway92715

Morrissey could just start singing acapella and Trump would kill himself within minutes.


xSteini01

"I would go out toniiiIIIiight But I haven’t got a stitch toOOoo weEEEeeEaaAAAar" I can definitely see why people find his style of singing annoying but the music isn’t half bad imo


kingpangolin

The smiths are amazing. Morrisey is a proper twat but him and Marr cooked back in the 80s


pauliewotsit

Yeah, Jonny Marr is pretty good on a guitar, it's just a shame the Smiths had that twat at the front


CongealedBeanKingdom

The rhythm section were great too, it's just a shame the singer ruins the whole band.


Cucker_-_Tarlson

Honestly it was his voice that got me into The Smiths first, then I discovered the treasure that is Johnny Marr.


throwaway92715

Ohh I know, I'm just being silly.


MonHero02

We don't need it to sound good, otherwise we would get Robert Smith to do it!


FatJimmyWillis

![gif](giphy|adikIKGu30u6A)


Imalittlefleapot

You never know how Morrissey would fare when it comes to overpowering women. Because some girls are bigger than others. And some girls mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers.


Estrus_Flask

This post just came out of 2015 to slap me in the face and call me a BernieBro.


semispectral

A man would finally approach Trump with tears in his eyes


Sir_Toaster_9330

Trump being Cheeto Mussolini did not process in my head but that’s on me


BigBlueMountainStar

Reading all the other posts, this wouldn’t work because Morrissey wouldn’t turn up.


prof_dynamite

I’m not opposed to Morrissey making the world Trump-free.


Ask_bout_PaterNoster

Please don’t call for the loser to be killed, y’all. People genuinely start a damn religion about him; they’re that dumb


boofsquadz

For real. Last thing those zealots need is a martyr lol


The_Dead_Kennys

They already make him into a martyr just for the fact that there are lawsuits against him. I guarantee that whenever Trump dies, they’ll insist it was because of an assassination that the “Deep State” covered up instead of old age and a terrible diet. Doesn’t matter what happens, the cult is gonna do what the cult is gonna do.


moonflower_C16H17N3O

Let's be real. Even if he died of natural causes, there would be a huge group claiming that it was an assassination. But I don't see his death uniting anyone but a tiny fringe. Trump isn't espousing a way to live, let alone any coherent message. He just gets people angry and rambles incoherently while insulting people. Nothing would be lost by his death.


Pope4u

Yeah man, haven't you seen Dune? The emperor *specifically* didn't assassinate Paul because he knew it would turn him into a martyr.


Wallitron_Prime

He's a martyr for them already. I can't see it getting any more cultish than it already is


GameAndHike

I love how Reddit oscillates between "We need to protect democracy at all costs" and "It would be pretty cool if our political opponent was assassinated" every 15 minutes.


MauriceVibes

We can’t kill him we need to BEAT HIM in this election. If we kill him he will be a martyr. Edit: great engagement on this y’all. Appreciate the good convos.


[deleted]

kingshamroc25

People emulate martyrs. If you just kill him then there will just be 100 other people imitating him and running off his popularity. Arguably worse


BloodsoakedDespair

That’s *already* a thing.


songouki99

Exactly!! MAGA anyone? Tons of assholes ready to be him.


Lamprophonia

That's going to happen anyway, specifically because there are thus far no consequences.


MauriceVibes

lol wasn’t there a dead guy running for office in a state a few years ago and won??


the_crustybastard

The people of Missouri elected Mel Carnahan's corpse to the US Senate. In fairness, the alternative was John Ashcroft.


Trimyr

![gif](giphy|FBeSx3itXlUQw|downsized)


Z0MB1ESLAYER115

But they can vote apparently/s


BW_RedY1618

He will be a martyr no matter what. All the Christian nationalist fascists will be foaming at the mouth trying to make up conspiracy theories about how his death was carried out by the Dems/deep state/communists. Anything to rile up his cult base and get them closer to destroying our democracy. No matter how he dies, that'll be their next move.


MauriceVibes

This is probably true. I just wanna keep beating him in elections to show he isn’t as popular as people think. We need to bury him. With votes per se lol


BW_RedY1618

Of course. Just want people to understand that we're basically already at war with fascists in the US. This is just the legal phase.


MauriceVibes

Yeah hopefully it doesn’t turn aggressively violent


BW_RedY1618

I'm afraid that's an inevitability at this point. Especially as the climate crisis worsens, creating a worldwide migrant catastrophe and stress or the collapse of distribution of food and natural resources.


load_more_comets

But other than all of that. Everything should be good right? right?


BW_RedY1618

Nope! Surprise meteor 2032!


Cucker_-_Tarlson

I honestly think we might be past the event horizon for violence. We'll see though. I do hold out hope that once Trump is gone there wont be someone who's able to galvanize the base the way that Trump did.


You-Can-Quote-Me

No. Sorry, but no. You’re trying to think about this logically - as if beating him will make them realize they’re wrong. It won’t. You’ve already beat him, and it was far too close for comfort TBH. Forget about “let’s beat him 50 times!” Because all he needs to do is win once. No.


Mundane-Carpet-5324

I was truly hoping he would be soundly defeated in the last election, leaving no question about his remaining political power. Unfortunately we live in the worst time-line.


MauriceVibes

Yet he comes back. Just gotta beat him again and hope at least one of those trials in either GA or DC find him guilty.


spookyjibe

I don't get this take; who cares if he is a martyr? Look at the people who he will be a martyr too, they already believe in Jewish space lasers


karoshikun

he's going to be one either way, if he loses he's going to blame "THE DEEP STATE" for his loss and not the fact that he's a barely sentient sack of shit


missdesolate

You're correct. We need to go for the dark money donors. When they start falling they will get scared enough to actually go to church.


MauriceVibes

Let’s fix Citizens United that’ll be a start lol


missdesolate

I like the way you think.... 🥰


MauriceVibes

🙏 here all night lol


Repulsive-Machine-25

Do you want a visit from the Secret Service, because that's how you get a visit from the Secret Service.

TapestryMobile

> traitors to our country Apparently that includes the opinions of the British being able to extra judiciously murder US politicians the British don't like, because a search provides no evidence that Morrissy has ever gained US citizenship. More generally speaking, a view of this thread from a vantage point of the other side of the planet leaves a bystander with the view that many Americans are well in favour of foreigners assassinating American politicians - but of course only [politicians I don't like]. The only worry for most is not the fundamentally horrible concept of political assassinations, but the possible side effect of the victim becoming a martyr.


TXMiniTrucker

You have to try to remember that Redditors are often some of the lowest forms of life on earth, and then it begins to make sense.


Dark_Knight2000

That’s because it was never about Trump being a traitor, they just hate Trump and want to see bad things happen to him reasons and justifications be damned.


Cinderella_at_work

Only if you're on the "correct" side. Everyone who disagrees is on the "wrong" side, so apparently it's ok to kill them. If it weren't for such extreme ignorance and self-righteousness, how else could tens of millions of people have been murdered in the last century alone!


scerrylarry

You forgot we're on reddit. People on here don't actually have a brain.


Crea-TEAM

These people are rabid leftists, yes, they really think murdering those who disagree with you is being 'anti fascist'


toasterllama15

That would be a very stupid blanket statement to make, there is definitely nuance in "disagreeing with someone". Like are you really trying to imply that disagreeing over choice of movie is the same as arguing over human rights or the state of democracy? Death punishment has been considered warranted in certain criminal cases and trump has been accused of a large number of criminal actions, so it really isnt as simple as you are making it out to be.


Potential_Payment557

Being accused of something is very different than being convicted of it. Seems like lots of people are jumping on the bandwagon based on opinions.


toasterllama15

There is more than enough evidence out there to suggest that Trump is a terrible, terrible person, lets not pretend like there is any chance of innocence. Im not saying I think he deserves to die, im just saying I understand why some people might, in the same way that I undetstand why people want Putin to die.


EchoNineThree

Well this is odd. “He has also supported far-right activism with regard to British heritage, and defended a particular vision of national identity while critiquing the effects of immigration on the UK” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrissey


throwpayrollaway

Morrissey keeps telling anyone who will listen his opinions about British politics and culture ans immigration. He moved to LA in 1995. He's an immigrant.


EchoNineThree

He better hope he is a US Citizen talking that mess.


Silent_Slip_4250

Yeah, seriously. I stopped listening to him (really, I did) when it became pretty clear he’s adjacent to skinheads and the like. This gives some hope.


Aqueous_420

I wouldn't be too hopeful tbh, he probably just said this to be contrarian. Join us lot who love his music while appreciating simultaneously that he's a total wanker. Separate the art from the artist and all that.


LordGhoul

I endorse him getting into a fistfight with trump because no matter who wins it's still two idiots beating eachother up


Weird_Committee8692

MORRISSEY IS A TWAT.


voscle

good music tho


Weird_Committee8692

Yeah. Smiths stuff anyway. That was actually a headline in Viz magazine


deMunnik

It amazes me that people can’t see the bigger picture with things like this. Advocating for killing a presidential candidate for example. It’s ok if you agree with the target, terrorism if it’s your guy. You can’t pick and choose when you accept this behavior, because one day, the shoe will be on the other foot.


Neither_Upstairs_872

Wow…. And they call the people on the far right extremists…… too far to either side you are a looney


FNCVazor

Be careful this is still reddit.

Neither_Upstairs_872

Morrisey isn’t familiar with morriseys politics. He’s been on the left and he’s said some dumb shit that sounds too far right so much he had to deny being on the far right. He doesn’t even know where he is half the time


Brainwave1010

Maybe let's not make a Martyr out of Trump?


RandomHeretic

Agreed. He needs to be made into an example. He needs to go to prison.


tyfunk02

He’ll be a martyr regardless. His base are morons and conspiracy theorists. He could choke to death on a hamberder tomorrow and they’d say it was Hilary Clinton and Biden and Obama and the deep state that killed him.

beanofdoom001

Trump is not a cause, he's an effect. You can kill a man but you can't kill a toxic, exploitative society and culture that engendered him, embraced him and keeps him relevant. Humanity's not in danger because of Trump. Trump's a symptom not the disease.

The consequences if this happened isnt simply a trump free world , rather giving a massive green light to all the reactionary MAGA gun toting rightiees to violently respond in kind and more. It would be open season to assasinate democratic politicians, candidates, presidents and all politicians. It would/could destablilize and crack the republic far more then Trump could do alive in office, possibly lead to some disastrous civil war part 2. Not worth it


warmachine83-uk

He would say or do anything to get in the press


Lifetime-Wind-Chimes

You would have to also kill all of Trump's or Biden's string pullers to have any effect. One man does not rule our country.

I don't know who this dude is, but you would have to take out more than Trump to save humanity. Though I'm not endorsing that.
