Can't wait for the day when he is just a Wikipedia page.

Sometimes I wonder if the Republican Party will keep chugging along with an AI generated Trump for a few years after he croaks.

Nobody else seems to have his weird appeal and ability to let stupid statements roll off his back. In the hands of anyone else, this administration should have been overthrown as a clan of self-interested moronic tyrants. And yet with Trump, somehow middle America cheers on their own money being taken from their pockets.

I have little doubt that you could generate a bunch of asinine tweets and videos and use an obese body double on a golf course while they try to find someone else who makes Americans celebrate their own demise.

MAGA is a classic Cult of Personality, and Trump’s death will be the end. Like all Dictators, he won’t name a successor because he doesn’t want to give any power to anyone else, so he’ll let Rubio and Vance fight it out for his own entertainment.

Meanwhile there are a bunch of MAGA losers entertaining the fantasy of taking over MAGA when Trump dies. Guys like Don Jr. You don’t think he feels like he’s ENTITLED to succeed his father to the throne? Or Hegseth? Or Lindsey Graham? Or DeSantis? Or Abbot? Or Tucker Carlson?

When Trump assumes room temperature, the knives are going to come out, and the backstabbing will begin. It will be glorious.

I agree, but I still don’t feel confident enough to say that all will be well.

Like with any dictatorship, infighting will occur for succession and the person with the least self restraint will rise to the top. We might have some schadenfreude moments watching some morons fall from grace, but the apex moron will end up in charge.

The real problem will be the Democratic response. The probable response is that the Dem leadership will want to be polite, and kindly guide the MAGAs, who are feral, rabid, and sociopathic, so they will only lash out viciously.

Instead, they should stay out of it, let MAGA attack itself, and melt down, only encouraging and facilitating their downfall as much as possible.

At the same time, the Dems need to be fully exploiting the MAGA chaos, and pass as much citizen-oriented, Sociopathic Oligarch-controlling legislation as possible.

We need strong, courageous, strategic leadership in Congress to accomplish it, and right now there is nobody to replace the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries.
