Upside is the cult of personality is attached to Trump, and no one else has been able to pull it off him. Trump is only effective because somehow, for some insane reason, he, personally, has a lot of devoted followers.
Yep. When a dictator dies, it doesn’t necessarily lead to democracy and prosperity because the system is broken, and the next person simply assumes the absolute power.
Some will, some won’t. Cults of personality don’t tend to fare well without their personality, and Vance has all the charisma of a used tissue, so it’ll come down to how skillfully he can navigate things.
Remember, a LOT of right-wing Christians think Trump is either a prophet, an agent of God, or (in some cases) literally Christ Himself. That’s an awful hard act to follow when your prophet doesn’t get taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot, or your Messiah doesn’t rise again after 3 days.
I was talking about this with a friend not long ago and he floated the idea that Tucker Carlson could maybe replace Trump. He does have a fan following. The idea worried me.
That’s the question. Let’s say Trump makes himself dictator. Who’s going to inherit the title when Trump eventually dies from old age or from falling out of a Russian window?
Let’s hope the next 4 years are tough on the felon, he may not even make it to 2028 🤞🏼
I’m not convinced Vance or Johnson is any better than the orange baffoon .
They would be worse. A dumb Nazi is preferable to a smart Nazi.

Will the MAGAs back Vance without Trump?
He doesn’t have “D” next to his name and has shown no indication of rationality, so yes.

Will they get a choice of it all goes really really haywire? I mean their faces are gonna get eaten regardless.
