    It wouldn’t change a thing.

    He’s just the symptom of something bigger and way more entrenched in American society.

    You need to understand that Trump is the fall guy for Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, and all their billionaires and NRx friends who are the ones whispering in his ear. He doesn’t come up with any of that stuff.

    The moment he falls, another one will rise.

      The thing is they haven’t decided who that “other one” will be, and they all want to be it. There is going to be a lot of bloodfighting to be king after the king dies, and it should be added that none of them hold the puzzling stranglehold over the average Republican voter as Trump has.

      So while it is of course true that Trump is too stupid to come up with most of the shit happening during his presidency, the complete control that they enjoy during it is not a given without him.

        While I do agree that Trump gone could cost the movement its charismatic leader and weaken it, I don’t agree with the fact that everyone is going to fight to become « the king ». As I said, it’s mostly a symbolic role meant as a scapegoat should anything go south with the public opinion. The true masterminds behind this, which I mentioned one comment above, do not want to appear on the front stage.

        More likely than not, they’re looking at Vance as the dunce to replace the dunce. Not sure how popular he’ll be without a massive psyops, though. Perhaps some Trump offspring has its chance there.
