He is borderline senile and doesn’t live the healthiest lifestyle. He might damage the system beyond repair, but I doubt he’ll stay around for much more than one legislature.
Edit: Before getting angry and comment, do realize I wrote “he might damage the system beyond repair”…
So my grandpa is almost blind and his hands are shaky… the chances of him hitting me with that gun he is waving around are slim to none… so I guess it’s just fine to help him load the gun and make sure he has access to it whenever he wants… right?
His dipshit supporters might be just fine with handing it off to one of his failsons. Or handing it off to the likes of Bannon and friends.
I mean, once the system is ruined, anything can happen. Just because he dies in office after instituting fascism, doesn’t mean we’d revert to normalcy.
He’s lined his kids up behind him to take the reins. We’ve already got Lara Trump as co-char of the RNC. It’s a takeover. From the party to the judiciary to even local level politics.
The United States Government is putting unprecedented money into science that may allow people to live potentially forever! AS A HEAD IN A JAR! What impact will this have on…"
A guy like Trump doesn’t break the system, he simply exploits the oversized flaws people choose to ignore.
One of the jokes in Trump claiming “I could assassinate a political rival of I felt like it” is the recognition that he’s absolutely correct. He could have rivals arrested. He could have rivals shot. He could have whole neighborhoods bombed.
We do this overseas all the time. We just call it “regime change” and insist we did it as a favor for a population that will greet us as liberators.
The only difference between Bush sending in the marines to snatch Saddam and Trump sending in the marines to snatch Ted Cruz is which bunker they’d be hiding in.
They’ve already done a large portion of it. The damage is done with the judges they’ve installed not only in the scotus, but around the country.
They now have the power to legislate via the courts. They just file lawsuits in favorable locations (5th circuit) and worst case scenario it gets to the rubber stamp that is scotus so they can pontificate about how some 2nd century pig farmer proposed a law that should actually be taken as official because AmErIcAn HeRiTaGe or something.

I would simply vote for him not to have the gun
What does that have to do with my comment?

If that was the case, I’d say bring on Trump - but, somehow, I don’t think that’s going to be reality.
He’ll damage the system, but not in a way that will make easier to overthrow. It might be better to say he will exacerbate the system.
