Is there a risk there’s someone fills that power vacuum who is even more dangerous to The Republic?  Someone who has the ability to galvanize the dumbasses like Trump?

I have a theory that a lot of Trump fans like him because he gets away with everything. The ‘shoot someone on fifth Avenue and get away with it’ thing.   I think what they like is best summed up in this meme.

Part of the cults love is connected to Trump being a winner, and Trump flipping his middle finger at everyone his cult does not like.  “Owning the Libs” is really a thing.  I have a friend from Boy Scouts who tells me the thing he likes best about Trump is that liberals are driven crazy and get angry.  

Once Trump becomes a man who constantly loses, and the man who lets their liberal friends gloat and mock them for his failures, they may change religion and look to find a new person to channel their anger.

My other favorite argument is that the “legal grounds for this case are incredibly non-existent.” This is followed by “attorneys and judges from both parties agree.”

I think the unity the GQP/GOP currently has goes away. He's been able to unite the party as well as anybody could in this climate. It goes away when he does IMO.

At that point, the GOP will slide back toward their pre-Trump normalcy and the wackos will slowly fall off. Time will tell how much damage the alt-right, Christofascists can do before Dotard disappears.

The Tea Party was a thing before Dotard ever threw his hat into the ring.  The dipshits will find someone else or some other dogma to rally their hatred around.

The Tea Party was a squirt of piss compared to this crazy MAGA movement. It dies when Trump does. There will be some carry-over but unless they find somebody as vile as Baron Von Schittsinpants, it will not have near the same traction or hold on America's racist moron class.

He has lost a presidential election, 60 cases related to that loss, a sexual assault civil trial, and now a criminal trial. He’s been proven a loser for years now, they just hand wave it away as all rigged because he said so.

Serious question:

When this fucktard croaks his last Orange-Jabba breath, what happens to:

-the GOP (locally, state orgs, nationally)

-his sycophants who have attached themselves to him in DC

-the brainless, brainwashed cult-members in our families and communities 

 

Is there a risk there’s someone fills that power vacuum who is even more dangerous to The Republic?  Someone who has the ability to galvanize the dumbasses like Trump?

Which brings me to this.

Upon his death, the cult can transition into a religion to continue the idolatry. This could affect the various Christian denominations more than it affects the gqp.

The thing t about the Tea Party is that it was basically subverted and taken over by the GOP. Because it was ostensibly decentralized and because there were multiple groups claiming the mantle, GOP BMDs were able to spin up a well-funded Tea Party group that they controlled and that sucked a lot of oxygen out of the room. I don’t remember if it was the Dick Armey-led group or another one, but I had a cousin really into the whole concept and I remember when he realized it was going nowhere other than being pulled back into the fold.   

MAGA on the other hand, is controlled by one man right now.

The Tea Party was just thespian group of rage Republicans who refused to take responsibility for the fruits of the Reagan Revolution. It was just another GOP con job pushing even further right austerity policies and occasionally providing Tosh.0 material.

People thought the tea parties’ politics were complex and convoluted. They weren’t. The tea parties foundational philosophy was: “No more tax money to Negroes or browns or poors”

While accurate, it wasn’t as catchy as calling each other patriots who wanted smaller government…. (with the exception of the Big Brother federal government controlling state election law, state tort laws, and state abortion and reproductive rights laws, etc. , which are cool)

[YGIFS 19458]

True.  But as posted above, it was somewhat different in that it was independently operating cells.  Originally called together for some modicum of fiscal reform and of course a suspicion of Obama.  But it didn't have any central figure to worship.  It was kinda different in that respect.  It was a backwards political movement, but still a political movement.  MAGA is literally a cult.  I didn't see it at first, it was just populism as validation drug on its face.  But it t now literally clicks the boxes, for all but the straight ticket voters who go GOP no matter what, an actual cult.  I've never seen anything like it and hope to never see it again.  The Tea Party was annoying and misguided but it was disconnected but didn't center around a confidence man.  And they weren't particularly violent.  What this MAGA movement is absolutely centers around an idolatry of insanity.  And they armed and pissed.

And it will be a piggy bank but with no way to access the money that gets put inside.  When it gets full, they give it back to dj and Eric in exchange for an empty one. Like a reverse propane tank swap. And the trumps will keep track of how often swaps are made; the more often you swap the more pious you are.

Trump was and is a brand.  Not a good one.  Lots of failure in that brand.  But it was a known brand.  They won't find that again in any of our lifetimes. It won't even transfer to his kids, and he wouldn't want it to because it's all about him.

It's fake as shit.  That color guard would be at the White House or somewhere else in Washington, and the music would be the Marine Corps Band.  If they were to sound like that, they'd be hung, drawn, and quartered, then sent to Diego Garcia to finish their enlistments.

Hah Hah.  Reminds me of this guy I know. Early during the Obama administration, his son was a senior and he told me he was applying to the Air Force Academy.  I offered to set him up with a conversation with a recent AFA grad.  A few months later I asked and offered again.  This time he said.  "oh, he isn't going to try anymore.  He doesn't want to serve under this Commander in Chief....."

If she is working at A&M she is no doubt miserable and looking for any chance to chew her own leg off and escape the trap.

If she can goad Aggy into goobering up and firing her without cause (assuming she's tenured), maybe she can get some of that Jimbo money on the way out.

Does not compute. Our enemies and General Patton are on record that Aggy in the linchpin of our defense, ergo by going to A&M the young man was serving even more under President Obama than some pointy-headed Air Force pseudo-intellectual officer without sense enough to park his electric scooter.

I think you misjudged his love for Obama, and should explain that to his father.
