    Oh we will build monuments, but they will be in celebration of his death. Like a monument pile of maga trash then burned, or a monument pile of champagne bottles we will be popping.

    From https://www.youngpioneertours.com/the-surreal-grave-of-pol-pot/

    Upon his death, his body and possessions were transferred to a site in Anlong Veng where they were put into a pyre and burnt along Buddhist principles. Quite ironic when you consider the treatment given to the buddhists by the government of Democratic Kampuchea. There is a video of the aftermath of his funeral on YouTube. It is quite surreal to see one of the most notorious killers of the 20th century being burned with his toilet …

    Trump has a gold toilet. Just sayin’ …

    Fucking die, and then we will see what happens next.

    The world needs to take that disgusting name off of buildings, burn that horrible name from history.
    Not build more pieces of shit monuments to put an even bigger piece of shit name on it. FUCK.

    Here’s two scenarios: One, the fascists are completely defeated and lose all power. That’s actually the situation where Trump will definitely get monuments. Just like the losers of the Civil War made a point to build a bunch of monuments celebrating what huge losers they were, similar losers will do the same for Trump.

    A second scenario is that the fascists win. A dictator takes over and we lose all of our freedoms. If this happens, it won’t be Trump, or at least it won’t be Trump for long because he’s so fucking old. He likely wouldn’t be able to put one of his loser sons in charge, since they simply don’t have whatever it is that Trump has. Even if they tried, I suspect some other Republican would easily seize power from him.

    So that first real dictator Republican will want to glorify himself. He’ll want to pretend like he seized power legally. As a result, it’s quite likely that he’ll blame everything on Trump. He’ll point at Trump’s insurrection in 2021 as proof that Trump was a bad guy. And everything that he says about Trump will be the sincere truth, because Trump really is one of the biggest villains in American history.

    So anyways, my prediction is that if Trump “wins” and starts true fascism in America, just like he said, nobody will build monuments for him. Trump will be an easy scapegoat because all you have to do is say exactly what he actually did.

    He’ll get one, crudely built by a local, off of the side of the road in my county I’m sure. It will sit where the litter from passing trucks collects. It will become decrepit in the blazing sun and the cold winter wind. It will be constructed by a person Trump wouldn’t have given a second’s worth of attention to and whose life he would loathe. He would hate this monument dedicated to him. And for that, I am content.

    Okay, how about a compromise: I’ll agree to build a monument to him after he’s gone, but he has to go AS SOON AS IS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE.
