    When they realize he is done, there will be a battle for the position of his successor, so don’t put your hopes up.

      They’ve spent 80 years looking for a successor to Hitler and never found one.

      Sometimes building a cult around an individual doesn’t work out long term for a movement.

        I don’t know, I think they got pretty close. Trump standing out there in front saying you’ll never have to vote again… Even now it’s not a sure thing and he’s not going to make it in.

        Hitler wasn’t this magical evil mastermind that just appeared in a vacuum. The fascists were huge party of people that helped him rise to power.

      They looked for one, spent 4 years, didn’t find one. He lost back to back popular votes. If they thought they had someone more popular, they would have used them.

        Ya, there’s no successor.
        Trump is a one-off, and his popularity and spellbinding cult effect on 50% of Americans will baffle intelligentsia for millennia.

          Remember when it seemed like DeSantis might be the successor? His charisma deficit plus his attacking the Weird 34 Idol were just two of Gone Ron’s problems. Sleepy DonOLD is a special kind of narcissistic weirdness that’s nigh impossible to duplicate.

            I saw some premature Desantis president yard signs years ago. That was a glimpse into a different but also bleak future.

          As others said, Hitler wasn’t a mastermind. There was a large percent of the population behind him. Another Trump is a maximum of 20 years away. Probably sooner because almost half the US population is behind Trump despite being anti military, a felon, and a rapist. The next demogogue is unlikely to be as overtly criminal.

          I still think some investigative journalists should look into the NLP connection when it comes to donOLD.

      There was already a battle for the position of his successor during the GOP primaries this year. Everyone lost.

        Trump won. One day he will lose and that is when these others will crawl out of the shadow again. How would you like “Musk 2028”? :D

          Thankfully impossible. Musk is foreign-born and therefore ineligible unless the constitution is amended and that bar is too high even though the GOP controls most state governments (they need 2/3rds). The GOP played with this idea back when The Governator was polling very well but even then it never passed the trial balloon phase.

            Oh didn’t realize that, so that’s one less headache, because he would be exactly the kind of narcissist who would try that
