      Hard to predict, but you can get some good guesses by researching what happened to previous fallen empires in history.

        They’d never allow him to live. He could be on fifth avenue with his hands behind his head and the cult would summary execute him on live TV to send a message.

          Not sure whether you’re talking about the MAGA cult, or describing the other side as a cult. Could go either way. Or both.

            You were referring to the hero who <DOES HEROIC THING>, and we all donate to his commissary as tribute, right?

            I’m saying maga would murder the hero who saved the day.

            Like, in public with a gallows or a guillotine or something. Idk, they’re reactionary, that’s what they do. I could legit see them going full medieval and breaking him on the wheel.
