      Question then becomes what to do about his lieutenants. We still got to deal with the evil that is Miller. In fact. I think tRump is too big an idiot for the full scope of evil that his administration is doing. I think much of this comes from Miller.

      Musk owns many politicians and is throwing his seig heils.

        Correct. Trump is just the face but if he stroke out and can’t make public appearances, the facade falls quickly and there will be a 25A crisis.

        MAGA isn’t going to follow en mass any of the fuckers propping up Trump.

          MAGA isn’t going to follow en mass any of the fuckers propping up Trump.

          You sure about that? They chanted, “Jews will not replace us.” They’re setting up camps. They hate the same groups the Nazis interred. They’re seig heil-ing. They want genocide.

          I think that means they’d follow anyone who gives them permission to hate. Hate is a powerful narcotic.

            No, MAGA dies with Trump.

            They’ll all try to coalesce around someone, but there will be multiple candidates, based on their own personal ambitions, rather than the needs of the country. None of them will gather enough support to conquer the others, and they will be ripe for destruction, if the Dems can get their shit together.

            But if Schmuck Schumer and a Jeffries are still running the show at that point, the Dems won’t get their shit together, will barely respond to the atrocities of the last decade, and allow something far worse than MAGA to arise.

            You’re confused in thinking MAGA is one contiguous group. There are Nazis within MAGA (in fact they have been promoted, especially this term), but there are non-Nazis too. There were people in MAGA who loved Charlie Kirk, and people who hated him for being pro-Israel.

            The only thing tying them together is Trump.

              but there are non-Nazis too.

              I’m not so sure of that. Are there? This seems a hopeful fantasy in light of their lack of showing after tRump 2.

                “Non-Nazi” in that they can look the other way while the actual Nazis do the dirty work.

                They’re still Nazis but it’s not their defining political position.
