      Oh, boy, you are not going to like how insane how base is.

      The conspiracy theories are going to be everything from trans shooter to poison to still alive to Jesus coming back from the dead.

        Yeah, I know how crazy they are. But there’s a difference between “died of a stroke” and “the Charlie Kirk special” on the crazy reaction meter.

      Eh, even as a martyr he’d be useless. The moment he’s gone, no other reich winger can bring the MAGA crowd over to their camp. Without Trump himself there’s no MAGA, martyr or not.

        I’m not so sure of that. I think we’re too confident that someone won’t appear to take his spot. As of this minute I think Tucker Carlson could do it.

          there will be dozens, if not hundreds, of people appearing to take his spot. let the base splinter itself into shitty factions during the inevitable power struggle.

          He’s been actively cutting the knees out from under anyone who has tried to make themselves the clear successor. It’s a common weakness in these cults of personality. They’re afraid of the competition/a possible usurper
