When he dies nothing will change. The system that birthed him will still be here.

    MAGA is cult of personality, and when he assumes room temperature, who's left for them to impress? They loved ONLY him, and they despise literally EVERYBODY else. The knives will come out, and the backstabbing will begin. It will be glorious.

    The MAGA movement may end, but American fascism will continue in another form. The contradictions of capitalism will continue on.

    Probably, but I'm still gonna get hammered and set something on fire. Nothing will keep me from expressing my joy on that glorious day, even if it is temporary. Besides, isn't all joy temporary?

    Agreed. AOC said this really well a few years back. I don't remember her exact phrasing, but she said something like, "He can stay, or he can go. But either way, the conditions that led to this situation remain."

    That's one time I wish she was wrong, but she's not. Once they find another figurehead...

    And let's face it, there's about a 75% chance that the next Democrat, assuming there is one, pardons everyone in the name of harmony or something.

    When he dies, he will no longer be in the way of changing that system.

    Yeah but all those other people are still in the way. Every CEO and every billionaire will have to die the same day.

    Except for the millions who voted for him. He was a placeholder for their values.

    We outnumber them by a LOT. They will shut up and crawl back under their slimey rocks. Or else.

    When we crush MAGA, and purge them from our government and our society, those who still sympathize with MAGA will learn to hide their sick predilections, or they will be ostracized like the pedophiles they are.

    This is just rhetoric. Unless we all are willing to commit aggressive action, to include overtly armed protests and bringing the justice to punish the people we seek ourselves, this shit won't happen.

    All we have been doing that I've seen personally is people waving signs and recording from the sidelines as people get their shit kicked in.

    The few times people fought back, they were executed by ICE because they were alone while no one else helped.

    All you are saying is that we will continue to waggle our fingers and hope cops take our side instead of them being the racists and bigots that they all have been for centuries in the country.

    We have been relatively successful in keeping organizations like the KKK and the Nazi Party fairly well suppressed, mostly by hostile public opinion than anything else. In a nation with Free Speech, that's about as good as it gets. MAGA should join them as another socially unacceptable organization.
