I genuinely think that the best thing that could happen to the US (and the whole world, tbh) right now is for both Trump and Biden to quietly pass in their sleep before the election.

The shitstorm of conspiracy theories if Biden and Trump both passed on the same night would break the damn internet.

I'll get the popcorn ready.

US Presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on 04 July 1826.

What can’t that sort of history repeat? We just keep getting economic crashes, pandemics, and racism.

Yeah but odds are only one of those things happens, so here’s what it would look like:

Biden dies, Harris has to run and the USA isn’t gonna elect a Black woman, so Trump wins

Trump dies, Haley gets her wish (she actually is wishing for him to be locked up but close enough, right?). She is seen as “normal” and Americans vote for her (I know I just said a woman of color couldn’t win but conservatives have this weird carve out for right wing POC)

Honestly? Old school GOP is still horrible, but not even close to Trump’s fucked up policies. Biden v Haley is still infinitely better than Biden v Trump.

Biden vs anyone is probably better than Biden vs Trump. Here's some examples: Biden vs a dog, Biden vs a cat, Biden vs a rock

Bidens replacement would probably be an improvement but Trumps wouldn't. The real "head of the snake" lives in Russia.

That’s not correct, it’s not a snake, it’s a multi headed hydra with heads in Russia, corporate USA, China, Saudi Arabia, and anyone else with a buck to spare.
