I don't know how unfortunate this would be. Vance will be president and Thiel will still control the US.
I know it is unlikely but I still want a trial for Trump.
The cult of personality losing its figurehead would cause a significant amount of people to have second thoughts.
That might be enough of a push to get the ball rolling.
You are right. There are people that do love Trump for just being Trump. This is just a guess since I have no data to back this up but those people probably would vote for his kids.
The second is the theory that people that voted for Trump are simply fascists. That means they would just vote for the next fascists.
There are several people that can fit these criterias. That might still be big enough to win the next election.
On top of that the younger generation is getting more radical MAGA. The Supreme Court is still MAGA. And gerrymandering will be worse.
I still have hope but my logical side seems very pessimistic right now.
I honestly think they would put the pedal to the metal. But I also think without the cult of personality, it will fall apart real fast. Only problem is, no idea who victors in that power vacuum…
