    Dude, you’re hand waving away some pretty extreme things. Let’s say that trump has a heart attack and dies from too many hamberders, it is shit buckets all the way down. There are many countries all over the world that have dictators and didn’t/don’t know what to do.

    Trump causing our economy to shit itself is the only way it’s going to be stopped at this point. Later, that won’t matter.

      I have a pretty damn good idea of what we are up against, and I don’t think violence directly towards the figureheads is going to work. Mainly because of their untouchability

      Lower level officials however will start getting their tickets punched if things keep going south with the economy.

      It’s all connected to money; healthcare, housing, and food. If the economy takes a hard enough hit, which will happen almost certainly now (trades falling apart and tariff threats create a pretty unpredictable market), there will be more and more people pushed to the brink. Just look at the Republican town hall videos, even their base is being riled up.

      There will be violence and a terrible economy in the near future
