Many people will party, others will mourn. Some will fake what they are feeling for favours. The same as when any head of state dies.

Most likely a mad struggle for power among those in his circle alongside a struggle to be seen as the heir. Vance has an advantage here, but you can see other players making their moves including Greene. Had Kirk been alive he honestly might've been my dark horse bet. But if nobody wins a sufficient coalition then everyone loses. Some of the ideas will remain, but mostly the energized masses return to how they were before him or they'll split into their feuding factions where the San Francisco technofascists and the Midwesterners who hate change and the southerners who just hate everyone different from them are all back at each other's throats and all are disgusted with Nick Fuentes

We'd get Vance, who is arguably worse. Seriously. Look into the guy. He's a freakshow, but more subtle than Trump. Still very stupid though, so we'd still be led by a stupid extremist.

The cult as we know it would end though. Vance isn't going to be able to take over as cult leader. He doesn't have the flamboyant bigotry that Trump does, which is what draws low IQ conservatives to him like he's some idol.

Doesn't matter. I've witnessed conservatives all my life. With Trump gone, they'll absolutely vote for the next shitstain racist/fascist/bigot/moron the Republican party hands them. Because they will never, under any circumstances, vote blue. And they'll never vote 3rd party cuz they won't want to risk baby eating Democrats gaining power. So they'll bite their tongues and vote for whatever Republican is on the menu. And now that Trump has opened Pandora's Box, we're just going to see worse and worse candidates from Republicans because they watched and saw what Trump was able to get away with, so they'll take advantage, because why wouldn't they? They'll want their turn to grift the presidency to create their own dynasty.

I don't want to make a Monday even shittier than it already is, but realistically, things are probably going to get worse, not better, even with Trump gone. But hey, at least we won't have to hear his fucking voice anymore or wake up wondering what monumentally stupid thing he's said or done every fucking day.

When I get one of his new coins I'm going to glue it to the bottom of the toilet so everyone will pee on him. I heard he likes that.

C'mon, spell ICUP!

He'll go to hell.

The biggest party in history, and he can't go

In the immediate, who knows? A ton of infighting among Republicans would by my guess.

In the long term, my big swing is that MAGA becomes a religion unto itself.

There is a long list of politicians who have tried to do the Trump thing ever since the stupid escalator. Florida Governor DeSantis made a tiny little bit of headway that ultimately collapsed around him, Marge Greene has been setting herself up as the post-Maga maga leader, and Ted Cruz of Texas has been trying for the longest time to position himself as heir apparent of the current GOP, but there hasn't been anyone who has been able to capture the same spectrum of blind devotion to grudging acceptance that Donald Trump has somehow managed to unite into the Maga movement.

JD Vance certainly isn't it, and while he'll certainly get the Oval Office when Trump dies before completing his term, I think his presidency will be fairly unremarkable and rather short, and afterwards he'll move into private equity consulting or some such and never be seen in politics again.

But without Joe Rogan and Charlie Kirk, and with a ton of the other influencers either jumping ship or losing face, I don't think we'll see the same focus on a single candidate again. Since 2016, we've had a historical alignment of domestic influence and foreign interference that focused on Trump specifically, and he has used that (as he always does) to build the Trump brand and only the Trump brand. Nobody else can use it; not even Don Jr., who has tried dipping his toes in and mostly been ignored.

So I think the answer is, the maga cult sputters and dies. Maybe it sticks around long enough to poison the waters for a couple more election cycles, but it won't elect another president. The best case scenario, in my mind, would be maga breaking away from the GOP and trying to field candidates for a few years that become spoilers.

Either way, the Republicans will eventually put the mask back on and try to pretend like nothing ever happened (though I can't possibly predict whether that'll work. My gut says yes, but maybe that's just me being cynical).

He only eats fast food on the road, when he’s at the White House or one of his own places he probably eats pretty well.

I'll go into the nearest pub and buy everyone a round.

Things are likely to stay pretty shitty as Trump is a symptom rather than an underlying cause, but we've had precious little to celebrate.

Unfortunately, he won't:

that prophecy in the Christian bible's Rev 13, the one about the "miraculous cure", meant him.

You'll see in March/April of this year ( 2026 ).

When he does die, about 7/2y after turning absolute-dictator, he'll be replaced by either Musk, Kushner, or some equivalent, possibly Miller or Hegseth or one of the other cronies.

Things are about to get bad.
