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
Hopefully someone left-wing can pick up that mantle instead.
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.
None of them had a 14-year propaganda campaign to convince Americans that they're "good at business."
Anyone smarter will damage the country less. Anyone dumber will drool on themselves while trying to speak.
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.
Exactly. He's an idiot. The ones whispering in his ear, not so much.
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.
If Vance invokes the 25th amendment in January, he'll get the support he needs.
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.
Also the condemnation of everyone celebrating will make the people bitching over everyone being indifferent to fuckface Kirk look quaint.
