[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with a cult of personality is that it can't survive without the personality.  Trump isn't likely to be alive in another 10 years (at best).   Who is the heir apparent for MAGA after he's gone?   Will they turn to Don Jr. and continue to embrace crazy, or will some traditional Republican pick up the banner, and start to turn the party back toward normality?[/quote]
The GOP has been working towards minority rule for 50 years. It predates Trump and will continue. What Trump did was give his followers permission to let their anger all hang out. It will morph into something else. I did think some will go back to screaming at their TVs but we still have young guns like Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate, the Steve’s (Bannon and Miller).

We all want to blame this on Trump. The rot is deeper and wider spread. This is why we need to beat them at the ballot box like we’ve been doing since 2018. [/quote]
I’m sure Steve Bannon would be flattered that you include him in the young guns, at 70 years old.

I actually agree with both OP and you. I think when Trump becomes incapacitated or dies, it will be a real blow to the MAGA world because they won’t be able to coalesce around one idol, but I also think that the Republican operatives have been rigging the system for at least the last 50 years, through voter suppression, controlling media, gerrymandering, dark money, court packing, bowing to foreign influence, mob mentality, and encouraging this kind of idolatry by courting voters with fringe beliefs and welcoming them under the Republican tent.[/quote]
