    Honestly, I think a lot of this will cool off in a big way when he croaks, even him in prison would help. Just him losing will be a great thing. And I don’t believe for a second that MAGA will ever find anybody else who can pull their strings so well. They don’t have the skill, the popularity, or the back-assward charisma. Plus they’re all a bunch of sociopaths in it for themselves. Their cooperation is a matter only of convenience. They’re constantly backstabbing and they cannot change.

      There is one though. Maybe 2. Abbot is not liked enough. But Desantis will check all the boxes. He threw his hat in the race when he said he would pardon all of Trump’s charges if became president… Knowing the president cannot pardon state charges. Likely meaning he supports Project 2025 in the that federal courts can force state charges into federal courts so the president can pardon them. Being that he is the only governor that I have ever known to create election police, and since he has used them to knock on peoples doors to intimidate people for signing petitions that go against his wishes… It would be hard to put much past him.

      There are people watching him use their taxes to undermine their voting privileges, and supporting it.

      Yeah I dunno. Fascism is kinda a cultural problem, it won’t go away just cos the leaders go away. The leaders are the ones with the money, they can find a front. Someone obedient and Hollywood famous would be ideal for them. Trump has shown them that it’s doable. It’s not just a problem in America, the right is everywhere. I feel like the right is less vulnerable to sectarianism than the left and not just cos they’re dumber
