The day will come, when the orange cunt comes for you.

Because he will, you think you are safe because you are "one of them", but you are not. You are not part of the 1%, the ones really safe from him.

And that day, you will regret your vote, but with the amount of hate "your people" is spreading, do you think anyone will care if you are fucked by the one you voted to fuck "the others"?

Nobody will care.

So, what would happen if Trump dies before January?

A collective laugh across the world.

This is where the convoluted system our founders instituted keeps us from descending into anarchy.

People in each state vote for a slate of Electors, who are then bound to vote for the candidate that won in that state, and then the new Congress counts the votes. If a candidate dies before taking office, there are various opportunities for humans (State legislators, electors, Congress) to step in and make a substitution that reflects the will of the people.

And yes, even in states run by Democrats, the legislature and/or electors would probably act to install Vance if Trump incurs God's Ultimate Veto, because they respect the will of the people.

The only tricky part comes if Trump bites it after EC votes are cast, but before Congress counts them. Members might have a legitimate beef about accepting votes for a deceased candidate. They will probably do it, though. Then we would have to see what happens on inauguration day when the new President is unavailable to serve. In all likelihood, we end up with President Vance anyway.
