      Not really. This thing isn’t going to outlive Trump, and he’s very old and not in good health.

          Doesn’t matter.

          He’s holding together the whole GOP by merely existing. Without him as a unifying point, they can’t even agree on a Speaker of the House. They’ll tear themselves apart. This is very obvious if you know how cults of personality actually work beyond pop culture.

          Sure, there will be MAGA Hatters for a long time. They’ll mostly be stewing in their basement with a bunch of Nazi paraphernalia and bitching. They won’t be a meaningful political force.

          The question is, what kind of America comes out the other side?
