as funny as it is to imagine a scenario where Trump just randomly keels over and dies because he is an unhealthy senile 80 year old, it's important to keep in mind that the scenario where he has a stroke or heart attack and is merely severely incapicitated but remains alive is MUCH FUNNIER

A big sign that someone is a bad faith advocate for change is when they lie about the existing state of the world that they want to change. A sign that they are *at best* a stupid advocate for change is when they misreport the state of the world and refuse to be corrected. Both groups are harmful.
