It must surely be imminent. He’s not in the best health if the reports about him eating mcdonalds all the time are true. He’s 79 which isn’t that old but I dont see many fat, stressed 90 year olds on a mcdonalds diet.
Say he had a heart attack next week… then what? Presumably Vance would take over as actual president, but I can’t imagine anyone being as bad as him. Would the maga movement continue with a different cult leader? Do you think things would meaningfully change?
They’d scramble around until some washed up actor decides to get into politics.
Someone hose-off Gary Busey.
or Ted Nugent.
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.
Americans will find a new rapist murderer.
He will live until 90. He will be in the White House until he dies. Anything else is a fantasy
His blood is like 80% fat, how can he even survive
My practical experience with people with anti social personality disorder rarely feel stress, they thrive doing constant power games and destroying lives. So I doubt he’s stressed.
When he dies I’ll fucking rejoice. Other than that I dunno
My theory is they’ll treat him like some kind of political deity like Regan. Regan died and they wouldn’t stop talking about him like political Jesus until trump came along. At one point during the rnc convention they wanted to bring a hologram Regan on stage “think like hologram 2pac but Regan” but they thought the hologram would showboat Romney at the time.

I will celebrate so hard
If Trump does this pedofile demon is your new president
Huh? Why?
Oh JD
Peter Thiel, the puppeteer of Shady Vance, will enact the final phase of his forced “rapture”.
MAGA is a classic Cult of Personality, and Trump’s death will be the end. Like all Dictators, he won’t name a successor because he doesn’t want to give any power to anyone else, so he’ll let Rubio and Vance fight it out for his own entertainment.
Meanwhile there are a bunch of MAGA losers entertaining the fantasy of taking over MAGA when Trump dies. Guys like Don Jr. You don’t think he feels like he’s ENTITLED to succeed his father to the throne? Or Hegseth? Or Lindsey Graham? Or DeSantis? Or Abbot? Or Tucker Carlson?
When Trump assumes room temperature, the knives are going to come out, and the backstabbing will begin. It will be glorious.
Dems should know this is coming upon Trump’s inevitable death, and understand that it will be a unique golden moment for them. They better be ready to take full advantage of that opportunity with a plan in place to deploy when it happens.
I disagree with your “he won’t name a successor”. He will name 6, one of whom will be his yet to be announced IVF child with Laura Loomer. They will fight and claw for dominance and 65 years later they’ll make a dark comedy holofilm about the infighting after Krasnov’s death.
I disagree. He won’t choose an uggo like Loomer. Even plastic surgery couldn’t help her. She may be down for blowjays on command, but he won’t want to breed with her. These MAGAs are closet eugenicists, even though Trump has never heard that word, but he knows about plantation owners breeding their slaves, so he understands how it works.
Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller will tell him that he wants someone with good genes, although Trump will think PeeWee said “Good Jeans,” and think it means a chick with a good ass, and he’ll demand, “Get me a 12 year old with a hot ass!” and the entire US government will be tasked to find a pretty child for him to rape and impregnate, for the good of the nation.
Hopefully, before any of that happens, he’ll just stroke out in the middle of a dumb speech, accompanied by a confused facial expression, a hilarious vocal noise, and a loud wet fart.
When that happens, put me down for $50 on MAGA Cloning Program in the betting pool.
see i thought they picked Loomer as their next … i can’t even think of the word it’s so heinous. not breeder, not incubator just living womb. like, years ago. and then the dementia set in and that’s the only reason she keeps buzzing around.
No, things would not change. Republicans would still control the Supreme Court. Over the last couple of years they learned that they can get away with anything: breaking any laws they want, straight out stealing money, building concentration camps, sending gestapo to murder people… They will not stop doing this only because Trump is dead.
Who exactly will take over after Trump is impossible to tell. Watch The Death of Stalin by Iannucci. This is exactly what will happen. A lot of infighting and backstabbing until new king of MAGA is crowned.
Watch The Death of Stalin by Iannucci
i have been watching this every year with hope
Less raped kids
*Fewer. Kids are countable. Unless you mean the kids are less raped. So they’re still raped but less so.
Less grammar mistakes.
Vance is smarter than Trump, less driven by his own impulses, and more directly under the control of Thiel
He doesn’t have the cult of personality Trump does, but if/when you’ve rigged the elections so you’ll always win, what does that matter?
Vance makes NO decisions on his own, he is ENTIRELY owned by Peter Theil. If Vance becomes president, Peter Theil is in charge.
Trump is the disposable useful idiot to be the fall guy if the fascist coup fails. Everyone will pretend to sober up with their “it wasn’t us, it was him and we tried to fight it from the inside” story.
The fascist party is still fully present and accounted for, and are learning to exercise their newfound powers with alarming speed. Trump dying fixes nothing. They lose a figurehead, and the idiot fallguy. Their plans don’t stop. If anything they accelerate and intensify because a big escape clause disapears and the cost of failure goes up.
The plans won’t stop, but the cult of personality definitely will
Trump dying fixes nothing.
Well, it could potentially fracture their party between different figures vying to be the next Trump. That’s the only thing it could fix.
The fascists will still be there, you’re absolutely right. However, do not undercut the cult of personality. People not under the spell, can’t/won’t see it but all of this is built off his “charisma”. Their momentum will absolutely falter when he’s no longer around.
Once it happens, we cannot allow for elected members to talk about “coming together” and “moving forward”. These ghouls must be held accountable.
I personally know more than a couple trumpers who are now fully cultists and will eat whatever right wing media feeds them. As long as there are consistent right wing propagandists, there will be the cult of maga. They will continue on supporting fascism and hurting others.
The individual you’re replying to may be sincere, but a shill trying to demoralize us would say the exact same thing. If a scary message doesn’t end in a call to action, it’s not helpful.
Agreed, perhaps I’m just not as hopeful in the damage the cult suffers in this circumstance. It would have been damaging in an election. Things are moving fast now and still accelerating. There might not be another election, then losing Dear Leader doesn’t mean much. Fascists use fear and violence to control opposing groups in populations, not democratic consent to legitimize themselves.
The maga movement does not seem to do well without Trump.
I heard something very fascinating on pod save America this morning: the Maga cultists don’t follow Trump because they worship Trump the person, they follow Trump because they believe the same things that Trump believes. If some other leader spewed the exact same things, they would follow that person, too. that’s not JD Vance. That’s not anyone right now. Everyone in the Trump administration is very much after their own interests and only kiss Trump‘s ass because they’re afraid of the consequences if they don’t.
Really, this is a huge problem for the Republican Party, as, post-Trump, all of the Maga cultists would probably break away from the Republican Party and possibly dissolve into a disorganized slurry of right wing crazy. This would leave the Republican Party massively weekend as a result, and most of the independents that voted for Trump in the last election would likely defect to the Democrats.
Trump has built a “broad tent” with support from a lot of different demographics.
I suppose I agree that MAGA cultists support him because they believe the same things. I think it’s more apt to describe it as Trump gives them permission to indulge their shitty beliefs, but I guess that’s the same.
Yeah, I think that’s the same thing, but coming at it from a different direction
