I've lived in the US for nearly 7 years now, and this is how the political spectrum looks to someone from the UK.

@malwaretech the US political system is basically Game of Thrones except everybody wants to sit on the throne when they die of old age as the only goal

@GossiTheDog I'm surprised they haven't argued in the supreme court that death doesn't make you ineligible to run for office so they can continue to use a bunch of corpses as a proxy for corporate interest even after they roll over from lightly alive to clinically dead

What what happens when Trump disappears from public view. He's going to be like King MAGArthur, and will return from the Isle of Avalon when the New Republic is in its hour of greatest need

@malwaretech @GossiTheDog I distinctly remember that some US politician (not the President, though) won the elections after he was already dead.

@bontchev @malwaretech @GossiTheDog it's happened more than once, but generally it just triggers another election they're not eligible to run in. (Obviously there are a lot of jurisdictions in the US and there are some other ways to handle it as well...)
