I'm glad he's alive, but I'm worried — nay, I'm certain — the majority will see this and think things aren't as bad as they really are.

I hate to say it, but if he were already dead, it would solidify the immediate danger of fascism in the minds of the majority (of non-fascists. Anyone who still supports Trump is mentally ill, in an alternate reality, and irredeemable).

It's that they're competent enough (or the population, braindead enough) that they move slowly and not trigger a revolution until it's truly too late, and their violent repression works in silencing the people (see Tiananmen Square, Putin's Russia, etc).
