While that will certainly happen, it won’t end the environment that created him or the interests he represents. A brief respite, is as optimistic as I dare to be.
I’m just looking forward to not hearing him voice his pedo rapist opinions anymore. It’s a particular frequency that just won’t exist anymore once his pedo mouth is permanently silenced.
No. You’ll get 20 new clowns all fighting to be the new king. With luck they’ll eat each other as they step on the backs of everyone else. You want to see change, project 2025 needs to burn.
A number of people are clearly already trying. They are all failing miserably. Amazingly, none of them have as much charisma, at least not with such a wide audience.
Trump also represents a pretty impressive combination of horrible, charismatic, and authentic.
He is truly, truly horrible. He embodies the ugliness that a lot of people see in the world and in themselves, and is willing to cause harm to the world around him in a way that they wish they could.
He is, in his own utterly fucked up way, charismatic. He’s eager to aggressively beclown himself for applause and to sell his poison in a way that Stephen Miller or Ron DeSantis couldn’t match.
He’s authentically awful. Every word he says serves his own corrupt enrichment and aggrandizement, and he makes no secret of that, even when telling lies. When he’s lying, he’s obviously lying. When he’s stupid, he’s authentically stupid, not pretending.
Voters are very sensitive to all three of those categories, and they can tell when someone isn’t entirely any one of them. Trump is the rare beast to max out all three.
Anyone smarter will damage the country differently. There is currently an economic force pushing the US toward a future where its citizens are separated and specific groups disenfranchised to pull money toward the ultra-wealthy and major voting blocs. Fewer overtly stupid decisions, plenty of horrors to come.
It’s rare for cults to survive after their leader dies.
I don’t see the movement continuing. Some will rally to the new face, but many won’t.
Even today support for Trump is slowly waning with his base growing smaller. The issue with the American system is he can lose all support today and continue. Even if dems retake a majority in the Senate it takes 2/3rds vote to remove the president.

Well, the GOP has many more of those
Some lucky mortician will get to superglue his lips together.

Also eat the rich.
I don’t even expect a respite- someone will pick up the “populist” mantle immediately. At best, it would be just a changing of the mask

None of them had a 14-year propaganda campaign to convince Americans that they’re “good at business.”

Exactly. He’s an idiot. The ones whispering in his ear, not so much.

Trump is just a face to an economic force backing horrific practices. He’ll be gone and the well of money will find someone else to hop in.
If Vance invokes the 25th amendment in January, he’ll get the support he needs.
Also the condemnation of everyone celebrating will make the people bitching over everyone being indifferent to fuckface Kirk look quaint.
Hopefully someone left-wing can pick up that mantle instead.
It won’t fix all of the problems, but it’ll definitely fix one of them.
Absolutely. I will ponder this as I sip the bubbly
You mean we’re not all going to sing the Ewok song of triumph?
I’ll settle for chaos and leadership struggle until even the most diehard worshippers vote them out
