    I think you can start a revolution with just a single bullet. Just have to hit the right target. Not some guy with a tiny face, you need the guy whose redacted the most from the files. His followers will be the ones to start the revolution, but they will lose. Or worst case they have nobody to replace him and get the same number of votes, so the Republican party will start a period of infighting and it’s gonna be so funny.

      One bullet removes one person. If you have the rest of the prerequisites in place, then yes, that might be the proverbial match that sets it all off.

      Why would they do that? They’ll just declare martial law and carry on.

      Whilst I am sure that a vacancy at the top of the hierarchy would cause immediate infighting amongst the Republican party, I’m not sure the result would be a significant change in the short term, as the people who are guideing policy and pushing for fascism would still have their power. Breaking that is going to take a lot more work.

        “When trump dies” is just the liberal rapture. Trump is the symptom, not the disease. Of course Vance is weird and uncharismatic to us, but Trump talks like a moron and his supporters eat it up.
