Mechanistic workarounds
Apocryphal story about WA White, famous Commie editor in Emporia:
White was pissed at reporters overusing VERY. He knew that reporters are incapable of processing normal human thinking, so he found a workaround.
"From now on, when you feel like writing VERY, write GODDAMN instead. For instance, The bride's trousseau was goddamn white and goddamn lacy, with goddamn abundant roses on her goddamn graceful veil. Since this is a family paper, the copy desk will delete the GODDAMNS and the result will be readable prose."
A Trump presidency could accomplish a similar goal in a similarly workaroundy way. The existing structure of USA STRONG is incapable of processing normal thinking. There is no way to deport or imprison lethal idiots who have already destroyed the country. But those same idiots are so ferociously enraged by the mere mention of Trump that they will be constantly attempting to kill him. The Secret Service will delete the GODDAMNS and the result will be a usable country.
