In reply to the discussion: What if Trump passes on before the election? [View all]wnylib
(22,170 posts)75. Best scenario that I can see is if Trump dies a day or two after
Biden is declared the winner. No more Trump to file endless nuisance court cases about a rigged election. No Trump to call for a violent overthrow of the results.
MAGA Party leaders will still insist that it was rigged, but might not have the money to pursue it in court. MAGA voters will still create sporadic violence and claim that, not only was the election rigged, but Trump was murdered before he could prove it.
But none of them will have the BS gaslighting skill that Trump perfected over his lifetime. The party will be in as much chaos as when the House couldn't decide on a Speaker.

Won't happen, but if it did everyone would quickly move on to the next freakish Republican thing.
