And the cult of trump existed before under various names Tea Party, the alt right, etc. but if that's the fairy tale you wanna believe. Whatever keeps you warm at night pal.
Trump was able to gather the hordes of weirdos in a way none of those other movements could. For whatever reason, he was an exceptionally powerful populist, and the other craven greed monsters want that power bad. It's been shown that that magic doesn't run off on them though and it seems to be flaking off trump very quickly these days.
There will always be another eventually, but it can't be denied that Trump's star is falling, and the Republicans have no one able to gather the hordes like trump could at the moment. If they lose their ass in November, it's very possible that it takes them quite a while to regroup in any real way. Their penchant for infighting will slow things down.
Wow pal, this is a lot of words to say you agree with me. You should work on that people would in the real world would appreciate it I imagine.
I don't agree with you. No one will immediately fill his shoes. All the dip shits who are lined up to try are already proven failures that can't gather the base enough. They will flounder for quite some time if they can't manage to steal the election. Saying evil will rise again eventually is basically saying air exists. No shit the fight never ends, but it's not nearly as hopeless as you posit.
I'm not hopeless foo, I'm just not filled with a childlike naivety. You must remain ever vigilant against dark forces. You think the clowns performing this circus act are in control? An illusion. While Bobmighty is out performing tricks.
