If TSF dies before that election, I'm concerned that there will be a greater number of MAGA voters who come out to show their support for him posthumously and vicariously.
If he has to die, let it be any time after the 2026 election.

I understand your apprehension (which is the perfect word to use), but I think any votes he get will be countered by the energetic votes of anti-Trump folks that are eager to break the regime once its leader is breathing dirt
