I wonder how that would have influenced our current situation in the US.

    Trump dying would have resulted jan 6th being a real insurrection. Let's be real here.

      I doubt that. The chuds would have been sapped of energy. And there's no material basis for an actual insurrection anyways.

        also wasn't Pence a genuine target during that or do I have lib-brain? He would have become president if Trump died, so I'm honestly not sure if Jan 6 would have played out to the same scale it did if Trump had died

          Martyrdom is a hell of a drug.

        They would have viewed him as a martyr and that the only real voice to support them was gone. It wouldn’t have been a full on insurrection Alsace Chile but more people would def have shown up

        When their ideology isn't materialist at all, do they really need a material basis?

          An insurrection really needs both. Can't win a war without guns. Can't get people to fight and die on the basis of "we have more guns than them so we should win."

      Without Trump, would there have been anybody brave enough, with Trump's visibility, to spend a year egging on the Qtypes?
