Champagne? Opening the front and back doors to let the old air out and new air in? Will the new air really be any better?

    Celebrate years later maybe after the repairs are showing results.

    But a toast nevertheless.

    I live in portland so I imagine the bars here will have drink specials, parks will be filled with celebrating stoners, etc.

    Probably we’ll walk to the nearest clump of bars and join the celebration.

    I’ve said for awhile that I refuse to wish for the death of anyone. Just bad Karma there.

    BUT, I never said I wouldn’t celebrate the death of a bad person. So I’m ordering a bad person’s recent quote about another person’s death to be printed on a T-shirt I will only wear twice: on the day the bad person dies, and on the day of that person’s funeral.

    I may wear it subsequent times on the bad person’s birthday.

    I won’t celebrate. Not because I’m not pleased, but because the fight is not over, and unfortunately, many who “woke up” to fascism thanks to Trump will happily go right back to sleep and stop voting and stop caring, which helps the fascist Republicans continue to attack our democracy.

    Trump is evil, but it’s not like he’s the only evil man in a sea of reason; Republicans are fascists and in many ways (i.e. sans dementia) as bad or worse.

    Also, depending on how he dies, his cult will absolutely go bug-fucking bonkers, making him into a martyr, or maybe it’ll spark violence. It is unlikely to end well.

        He’s arguably doing more damage to the fascist movement than he is supporting it lately. I think they will be the ones celebrating when he is gone, but they will not stop pushing fascism. The infection has metastasized extensively, and once he is gone it will really get to work.

    We’re going to be waiting a while.
    When we see him coming out with sunglasses, and perched up between two guys who are suspiciously close to him, only then can we estimate the time down to a couple of hours (depending on how many ads for Goya beans there are).

    Not a thing. I won’t do a single thing differently other than a sigh of relief. Then I’ll get back on with my day.

    He wants nothing more than to be remembered. To be the center of attention.

    I won’t give them any more power over my life than they have already stolen.

      If he just wanted to be remembered he wouldn’t get so upset about people saying bad things about him.

      He would hate people celebrating his death with the collective expression of joy it deserves.

    I have a bottle of champagne earmarked for him, Netanyahu, a US destroyer or capital ship, or maybe a B2 bomber.

    Alcohol, music.

    Judging by the size of the no kings protests, I expect there will be literal celebrations in the streets like at the end of Return of the Jedi

    Documents from bygone eras talk about a concept called “hope”. Sadly, knowledge of what that concept actually represented has been long lost to the mists of time.

          A dingo ate my baby.

          Part of the fun was that most people knew what i meant. Like the IsHeDeadYet website. I noticed that someone posted the full question in AskLemmy shortly after mine.

            I once called my mom and asked why don’t they just shoot him. She didn’t have to ask who I meant
