    Nothing changes when he dies, other than a great party and wicked hangover. The Fascists are still in power, and they won’t have Nappy Mcpoopypants to stupid things up so much. Trump is the face of the problem, not the problem itself.

      It ALL changes when Trump dies, overnight. No cult survives the death of the leader. Vance steps in, he’s immediately to blame for everything Trump did. Many of these fanatics are looking for an offramp from the madness, but they can’t turn on Trump. (They don’t know this, but they need a way to say they weren’t wrong.)

      Or, look at it from another angle, you think MAGA gives two shits about Hegseth, Miller, Bondi, Vought, Kennedy, Noem, et. al.? LOL, man-on-the-street doesn’t have a clue who those people are, but they’ll turn into targets without Trump’s cover.

      OR, think on this. Would Germany have continued down the Nazi path if Hitler had died early in the game? Hell, even if he died late in the game, think the people would have rallied behind Goebbels or Dönitz?

        In Nazi Germany, there is no way to tell because it didn’t play out that way.

        I look to China, Russia and North Korea and I see evidence that power can survive succession.

        I hope you are right, but I wouldn’t count on it.

      Trumpnappears to be compromised by Putin, if might be safe to assume the next person wont be.

      Trump appears to have dirt on a ton of powerful people due to their involvement with Epstien and other child rape clubs. I hope the next person has no such leverage.

      Without out the threat of russian assassination or blackmail, maybe the whole ugly thing unwinds with trump? One can only hope.

        This sentence seems to disagree with the one before and the one after. Russian muckymuks have leverage on the POTUS, the NRA, the GOP and god knows where else.

        There is no reason to believe anything will improve once the child rapist is gone.
