      Even if old age gets him, Vance becomes the acting president, and he’s every bit as evil while not being quite as senile. I highly doubt the MAGA cult is going to die alongside Trump.

        Cults rarely survive a leader transition, especially ones based so fully around an individual rather than specific ideals. The cult will die, and the support will fracture, the underlying issues with the Republican party that allowed it will still be there.

            The Democratic party of today will think it’s won and do fucking nothing for us.

            I feel like this needs to end with a new constitution or we just punt the issue a few decades while still allowing all the insane shit of today.

        Trump chose the most feckless, least charismatic person ever as VP specifically so he wouldn’t show him up. He’s evil, all right, but no way he’ll be able to inherit Trump’s cult.

        IDK they seem pretty darn unable to agree on anything besides how much they all love Trump. There’s no Republican politician who is anywhere close to his equal. There is no obvious successor. Seems like a strong possibility of a power vacuum when he dies.

      Naw, he’s got at least another decade in him. His dad died at 93, and his mom died at 88. And that’s without the health care they have today. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lived into his 90s.

      did you look at his makeup from a recent video, he looks very sickly without it, the skin past his ears that is. thats why he made all attempts to hide sickly white skin with the orange makeup.
