This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The power vacuum would’ve been insane. I can’t imagine how quickly Republicans would try to steal his fanbase to get a presidential bid.

It would quickly degenerate into a contest to say the craziest shit possible. It might seem like we're already there, but right now there's an established level of crazy required to stay in the MAGA camp. If Trump has died the desperation to fill the void would crank it up to 11.

Which of course means that, hypothetically, the closer to the actual election such an assassination would happen, the worst the infighting and the less likely that a single candidate would triumph successfully. To a point, like a couple of days at closest so that the news cycle has time to make a mess of things.
