    But without Trump himself directing it, they won’t be able to focus that rage, it will quickly divest into the thousand little in-groups of conspiracies, backwoods nutcases screaming into the void, random nuts in trucks driving into drugstores and shooting up pizza places.

    It will be chaotic sure, but it will have no cohesion. Half the people around Trump are just there to pick up his crumbs of power, the other half are delusional enough to think they have the unique charm to take his place.

    When Trump dies, there won’t be leadership in the republican party. They’re making an effort with Vance by parading him around more and more, but the right doesn’t like him. He talks too much, he sounds like a politician.

    Honestly, the only person who could have possibly taken pole position and started rallying the right under his own brand of conservative charisma was Charlie Kirk. No wonder the right is so bent out of shape about it.

      Curious how many will assume Vance poisoned him to become president or something like that.

      You hit the nail on the head re: Vance.

      The cushion connoisseur occasionally pretends to give a shit about working class people (even though he doesn’t). MAGAts want their faces brazenly spat on, because they’re temporarily embarrassed billionaires and being poor makes you worthless*.

      I shudder at the thought of a Kirk-led timeline though, so thank you for the silver lining.

      *according to them.
