They’re already openly saying there will never be another administration after this, either one way or another.
They know he can't live forever, right?
They know, that's why the oligarchs will prop another one.
I am of the opinion that Trump is a pazi should shit hits the fan. The billionaires-- the true rulers-- will be scot free if the American people decide to rise up.
Nah. We are taking names, and addresses of the oligarchs. Not just in our country either. I wouldn't be surprised if this has already caused a bunch of US Veterans to go deep into hiding, just so they can snipe all the billionaires, the moment they get a chance.
One can hope, but most US veterans would gladly volunteer to be members of his death squads as soon as they get that far in their takeover.

They'll just let Ivanka take his father's place
Yes, but have you ever seen a vice president as visible and vocal as this one?
That's a good point, but I don't think Vance has the charisma to step into Trump's boots. For all of Donald's faults, and there are many, he is a very charismatic person. He has (or had depending on his level of senility) a natural skill at making people around him like him when he wants to. I don't think Vance has those skills and without Trump to rally around MAGA as we know it won't live past Trump. Now a form neo-MAGA can emerge, or it can crumble but thankfully JD doesn't have what it takes to carry Trump's torch.
If the system gets rigged enough, Trump won't be necessary. Cultists will not drop their position and they have infinite money and all the media to keep this "magic" going.
I obviously have a different definition of "charismatic" to many other people, because Trump has zero charisma in my eyes. He was repugnant in the 80s and he's repugnant today.
That's because you're not a vapid narcissist who only ever uses people and are probably a boring regular everyday person who can see that bullshit from a mile away. I still think he has high charisma, but yeah he's definitely not rolling 30s like other big personalities.
