Why would someone else have a harder time getting away with stuff? What is special about Trump? I legit don't understand how he gets away with things that supposedly nobody else would. Has he made a deal with the devil for immunity from all possible consequences? I'm legitimately asking, why is he different?

The powerful people that run the world don't care about the bad things he has done. They have a different moral code than everyone else and its pretty fucked.

Right, which is why I think another MAGA would get away with exactly the same stuff

Yeah he just made a deal with the devil... Nah, in all seriousness it's the way he appeals to the uneducated and hateful masses. You can't replicate his special mix of pure hatred and greed inorganically. It isn't that there can't be another, more so that no one even remotely in a position where they could take over doesn't have the same undeniable sway. They'll stop being so united.

Doesn't mean they'll stop being a threat, it'll just mean it's a bit easier to deal with

Right, that too, he simply refused to have a likely successor by his side, too scared they might replace him.
