    Possibly the only thing I can maybe hope for is that the next person to take the throne cannot command the same MAGA charisma (whatever the fuck that is) to unite MAGAts the same way and it furthers in-party fractioning and infighting.

    That or so many people with their snowflake egos will want to use it as an opportunity to move up that they’ll destroy each other.

      I hate calling whatever the fuck trump has “charisma.” If I knew nothing about him and met him at a bar I would still want to punch him in his smug face. He’s an asshole and so clearly an absolute idiot… And yet Maga eats it all up.

      So I agree, so much damage has been done, but I don’t see Vance or anyone else commanding the same unwavering authority. I hope we’re not wrong.

        MAGA does not like Vance they way they worship President Felon. MAGA will crash and too many people will in-fight to be the head scum bag. It will all blow up.

        Yeah I hesitated to use that word, lol. But if it were JDV to take up the scepter, I think at least some significant chunk of people would falter and lose step.

        Progressives like myself don’t like him because he’s mostly just another corporate Democrat, but I have to admit that I can see Newsome taking up that mantle and being somewhat effective with the less extreme of the MAGAt base.
