    And like I’ve said before you can what-if martyrdom all you want, but whoever comes after him won’t have the the history and boomer-mania he has. You think Vance or DeSantis can lead the maga moron collective stupidity the Trump voter base contains? No.

    Trump has the half-century of being a garbage human in the public sphere that is propped mainly by old people now also in the twilight of their lives that wanted to be like him in the 80s. Him staying relevant makes their outdated racism and intolerance acceptable in a world t:hat is moving forward and saying “enough is enough”

      I hope you’re right. But having seen it before with other governments, including the one I fled 23 years ago, I’d rather not have to find out that “what if” path.
