Before Trump Dies, We Must Be Ready

A deeply personal and strategic call to action — before the opportunity disappears
11

The day is coming.

The day Donald Trump dies — whether from age or illness— will mark more than the end of a political career. It will open a power vacuum. A moment of emotional confusion, partisan mythmaking, and historic opportunity.

If we are not ready, we will lose that moment to those already writing the martyr script.
But if we are ready, we can break the spell. We can begin to undo the damage.



Why I’m Launching This Series Now

This moment matters to me, both personally and strategically.

As a grandmother, I refuse to accept that my grandchildren’s America should be defined by lies, division, cruelty, and greed. I don’t want them growing up in a country where the truth is optional and democracy is disposable.

As a strategist and co-founder of Barking Justice Media, I see clearly how Trump’s death won’t be the end of Trumpism, but it could be the beginning of the end, if we act decisively.

That’s why I’ve written a four-part campaign titled:

“Trump Is Dead. Now What?”

It’s not a provocation. It’s a blueprint. And it starts this Tuesday.
