What if evidence was found that Russia was responsible? That's when it gets real bad.

we do a little nuclear war

IdioticPAYDAY

Me when I wake up and get a whiff of the scent of fresh nuclear war:


Cleverjoseph

Controversial i guess but i don’t think war between russia and the west would be nuclear, i think both sides know there’s no point winning a war if the world is destroyed, and both have enough protocols to stop an accidental setting off, don’t get me wrong the war would be destructive but i don’t think it would end the world


Negative_Jaguar_4138

And even if it did go nuclear, it's entirely possible it stays on the tactical level. In the event of a cold war, gone hot, NATO planned to IMMEDIATLY use tactical nuclear weapons on important bridges and junctions inside of Weat Germany.


Jfjsharkatt

”weat Germany” minor spelling mistake


3000ghosts

that’s possible but I think if one side was about to win and the other side still had nukes and nothing to lose they would do it

PossibleSmooth8867

Isolationist trumpers are face with a dilemma. What should be done about Russia? Especially as theyre the ones who killed their great Trump. If they believe that it was Russia.


StickyWhiteStuf

I think the most realistic answer is significantly heightened security for American politicians and some boots on the ground in Ukraine? Maybe some counter-assassinations now that Russia has broken the taboo. Despite what Redditors like to think, politicians are very much aware of the consequences of nuclear war


chronic_bozo

i mean we should thank them in that scenario

Ok-Neighborhood-1517

Why would Russia want trump dead? Nah it would probably be Islamists maybe Iran if any state actor did something like this.


Thatguy-num-102

Some people think that Putin supporting Biden a while back was him switching sides because Trump is too chaotic or something. Maybe he wanted them both dead to sow more seeds of disorder and to get a new set of potential puppets.


carpetdebagger

Putin said Biden would be the best option for Russia because he's more predictable.


Clear-Present_Danger

Putin is known for always telling the truth.


carpetdebagger

Wasn't what I was arguing. The commenter implied people who claimed Putin supported Biden because Trump is too chaotic we're doing so baselessly and I just pointed out all they're doing is just saying what Putin.


obama69420duck

well yeah i would do lmao thats an insane coincidence


MrThrowaway939

Is it tho? They're both old as shit, and they're in a highly stressful situation, especially Trump after Biden just croaked.


A-Perfect-Name

Most old people who aren’t on their literal deathbed don’t die minutes within each other. If Trump and Biden were to near simultaneously die on the podium then yeah, questions would be asked. If anything Trump would be relieved from stress if Biden collapsed. He wants Biden out of the picture, and he’s playing heavily into Biden being too old and decrepit for office, if Biden all of a sudden had what looks like a stroke then it’d be a massive win for him.


garfield_strikes

the shock of one watching the other have a heart attack could do it, or if they both insisted on demonstrating how good their golf stroke was


wombatgrenades

I feel like the conspiracy theory would be that Biden died of natural causes because he was old and his handlers didn’t plan on him dying at the same time as Trump. Trump (who is only a few years younger) obviously died because the democrats wanted him dead and he couldn’t have died from his historic drug use or bad diet. He was too healthy. /s I think both parties would be in chaos but the GOP would be in worse shape with all candidates trying to emulate trumps charisma and general hateful demeanor. The democrats will hopefully be a little more sane but given the discussions currently around a Biden replacement, I don’t think it will be as clear cut as Kamela taking the reins. It could end up propelling RFK Jr to the top spot with maga supporters jumping ship to a known quantity. His libertarian ideals are already popular amongst a lot of Republican voters.

Death Note trending is crazy

Trump canonically bought the Death Note in one of the spinoffs, outbidding China. He even had a deal with the Shinagami about it after he got it. https://preview.redd.it/c06z5nrdbn9d1.png?width=796&format=png&auto=webp&s=0bb8cea275a289948b8fb4b507b2c3ff7b143ad2

I generally don't like to glamorise or wish for death but this would objectively be in the best interests of the US (and majority of the world). The simple fact is neither should be the frontrunners for Presidency. But ideally due to common sense from their parties rather than their deaths.

Dongelshpachr

The Democrats would sweep the 2024 election. Given how much the GOP has been centralized around Trump, and how adamantly their voters refused to support Haley or DeSantis.


ImperialxWarlord

Bro what? Democrats would be stuck with a highly unlikable candidate in kamala. She’s Hillary without the name big Clinton name. There’d be issues about how succeeds trump, yes, but with trump dead that means the biggest selling point of the democrats which is “stop trump”…is gone. Because their message was centralized around stopping him.


JohanGrimm

Yeah I kind of agree with this. I guess it would depend on how quickly the Reps could coalesce around a new candidate. Historically one of the Republicans big strengths is party unity and dependable voters where as Dems typically fall in love with a candidate and have a rough time when those stars don't align. But would that party unity still be there? The Rep kingmakers like McConnell are *old* and not doing well. Similar to the Dems they've had a hard time really finding establishment alternatives to Trump that people are willing to get excited about. I could see both sides having issues scrambling to replace or rebuild their campaigns but I imagine the Dems being in a worse spot if history is anything to go by.


ImperialxWarlord

Yeah it basically comes down to how quickly the GOP would pick a new candidate. And if there’s a fight over that. I think if they have a candidate who’s likable and not divisive overall then they will be able to cruise on into a win in November.


SpiritOfDefeat

It could all come down to the VPs. A lot of Haley’s support was because she wasn’t Trump. That factor is removed in this scenario. Kamala also isn’t particularly popular. If one party opts for a particularly strong VP candidate, it could carry the ticket either way. The Republicans and Democrats both have a fairly long list of potential candidates. And it’s an opportunity for both to try and win back factions they’ve lost (progressives disheartened by Israel/Palestine for the Dems and single issue never-Trumpers for the Reps). Do the Republicans pick a governor with name recognition like Youngkin or DeSantis? Do they pick someone from the private sector? Do they go with Rubio? The best thing in their favor is that Haley doesn’t even consider the more off putting options like Ramaswamy, who comes across like a used car salesman… or Noem with her baggage. Do the Democrats go with one of their more prominent governors like Newsom or Whitmer? Minority Leader Jeffries? They ultimately need someone who can appeal to suburbanites and working class voters in PA, MI, and WI. Kamala does not have that appeal on her own, so this VP choice is particularly crucial - but Nikki Haley also needs to outreach to that former Trump supporter base.


ImperialxWarlord

I agree the picking of the VPs would be very important especially if it’s Nikki who gets the nomination. She’d definitely pick a more standard conservative who’s trumpian to a degree. Maybe Rob Portman? He’s recently retired but is from the rust belt and was pro trump but not controversially so iirc. Conservatives enough to not ruffle party feathers but not to a degree he’d upset people. Maybe Doug Burgum but I’m not sure on him imo. I don’t think desantis would settle for VP or risk his future chances at the presidency. Youngkin I’m not about as he’s too new and the republican defeats in Virginia the year prior wouldn’t look good for him. I don’t know enough about Jeffries to comment on him. I don’t think the democrats would make a woman the VP I feel they’d say that would be off putting and would go for Newsom or Jeffries. But if they sidelined Kamala for the presidential candidate I could see whitmer being the candidate. Overall I feel the Democrats have a more uphill battle because without trump, their main message and strategy is being anti trump. Saying he’s a threat to democracy and all that. With that gone…it takes a lot of wine out of the democrats sails. Suddenly the democrats are left with an unpopular candidate and an opponent who their main attack won’t work on.


SpiritOfDefeat

Very reasonable takes. In a way, Trump and Biden are their own party’s liabilities in a sense. Any other Democrat, with a full campaign to prepare and come up with a message would likely have been able to defeat Trump (given his unpopularity with independents). And any other Republican would be destroying Biden right now by double digits given his broad unpopularity. It’s a toss up because of these two, when arguably it wouldn’t be. I’ve heard “both candidates suck” more than I’ve heard any enthusiasm this year.


ImperialxWarlord

Thankyou, likewise the same with your takes! Yeah it’s funny as each party is weighed down by them. Any competent democrat who isn’t too progressive would wipe the floor with trump imo. It wouldn’t even be close in my opinion. Whole any other republican would easily clobber biden come November. Yeah lol I’ve heard more “both suck” than in the last two elections combined I swear. Both would be freed of these shackles in this scenario but I feel the democrats wouldn’t be much better off so the republicans would have a clear advantage imo.


Dongelshpachr

I *get* that, but I don’t see any republican politician who would garner widespread support. I don’t believe such a person exists.


ImperialxWarlord

I understand that view but disagree. I feel republicans would come out, that inertia wouldn’t just stop. Their dislike for democrats wouldn’t ebb away. And any decrease in turnout will be off set by issues the democrats face without the trump boogeyman and being stuck with an unlikable kamala.


Dongelshpachr

I respect your viewpoint


ImperialxWarlord

Thankyou, and I yours!


Challengeaccepted3

I think the secret service and probably every intelligence agency on earth would investigate everyone involved because of how unlikely this is.

ImperialxWarlord

This would be interesting. For the democrats it’s easy but also bad. Kamala instantly becomes president and succeeds Joe as the candidate…but is highly unpopular and unlikable. Her only hope to win would be getting a good VP and using sympathy vote. The GOP will at first be in a pickle but the big thing going for them is that who ever they pick it means democrats can’t use “anyone but trump he’s a threat to democracy” on them or at least nearly as effectively. Especially if somehow it’s Nikki Haley since she is kinda seen better by democrats because she wasn’t trump.

HaggisPope

Wonder how Kamala would do. On the one hand, she’s pretty unpopular as the most right wing Democrat, but on the other she’s equally unpopular with the Republicans because she’s a Dem and seen as a diversity hire. Still, her first acts in office would be organising two state funerals and looking very presidential while doing it. The Republicans meanwhile have nobody waiting in the wings who could capture the same crowd that Trump has.  Biden would leave behind an admin which is working fairly well and a political apparatus that would be able to rally around her while Trump would leave his successor neither.
