If someone was thought to be moshiach and then he died it means he isn’t, he isn’t moshiach anymore, could he technically be later on if things change, maybe, but now he isn’t, some lubavitchers hope that that one day there will be techiyas hamiasim and the rebbe will become moshiach not because they believe that he was greater than everyone that ever lived, but because they hope that they’re rebbe will become moshiach, they are not saying for sure, they are not asking anyone else to believe that, that is just what they hope, why is it a problem for a chassid to hope that his rebbe will become moshiach eventually, and many ppl in Judaism hoped that they’re rebbe or teacher will become moshiach, it isn’t a new thing, what’s new is some crazy ppl who think the rebbe is for sure moshiach and they have to convince that to everyone else etc, that’s new and not in line with Judaism
