Dean Obeidallah gave the best case scenario..

[Le Roi de Pot]

The fucker falls very ill ..but not so much that presidency is transferred to Pence...He gets his ass beat in the election ..but the virus has left him depleted to the point that he has no interest in inciting Proud Boys .....and Biden takes over the presidency without issues

1. And then after January 20th the prosecutions for his crimes proceed and he ends up in prison.

Then he can die.

2. I love your ending to the story

7. You come sit by me.

3. I said something similar earlier.

Best case is that he's incapacitated until the election, then has long-term recovery/health issues ahead and can't get motivated to incite.

4. I think the fascist fantasies are over

For a fascist coup, a lot of people in the military and justice and at the state level would have to take huge risks, and if it failed, they would likely spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Trump got hospitalized a day after a Covid diagnosis. Who is going to take a risk on a doddering old man like Trump?

5. If recent history serves as an example (and I believe it does)

he will be profoundly depleted. He won’t be able to snort/shoot speed to compensate without risking sudden death.

6. Yeah, pretty much /nt
