When his death does come, it will probably be treated with the exact same problem that gave this narcissist power in the first place - way too much of our attention. When he is gone, may we resume the hard work of community and democracy, and may his name disappear, along with his body.

We need to focus on this Vance character. What are we in for?

The greatest part is we can celebrate that the traitor, the rapist, the pedophile has died and everyone will know what we're talking about. I hope we party hard enough to give MAGA a collective aneurysm.

Rare occasion where I disagree with you. Celebrating the death of fascists is worthy of our time.

I’ll be happier to celebrate the death of the corporate infotainment media complex that forced him upon us. THAT will truly be a day for me. May I live to see it.

We will celebrate many times as we fight back, just as the allies did as they pushed eastward from D day.

But if his passing does give people the renewed optimism to work for a better world, sure, that’s definitely worthy of celebration.

Nobody wants to hear this. When he dies, we will all want to celebrate as if we won something. But we don’t win until we win back our attention and build the world WE want to build.

I hate to be *that* guy, but we need to remember that he's only their useful idiot, and they definitely have a postmortem plan in place to continue or escalate.

They're terrified they won't command the cult the same way Trump did. They will splinter, but that doesn't mean they won't still act and vote together. It's stage one slowing the progress. We know Vance is going to pounce faster than Trump on their goals, but progress for him will be harder.

No. We need to pick apart this anomaly to the bone.

This is the right conversation. Appreciate it. Private equity owning everything and massive wealth inequality did this. A societal moral failure caused by reducing human life to a commodity. Trump is a symptom.

Of course because we have to realize that he was enabled to do this. Trump is not capable on his own with his people they are incompetent. When he dies there are still the remaining people and organizations like the heritage foundation that remain and plan to continue their agenda.
