It's actually somewhat easy to see how so many people are brainwashed into Trumpism. I'm in another show lately and rehearsals we are borrowing space frtom severeal churches. Now we've all seen basic setups...where there is a church and a rectory and a school. There's that. And those have classes and whatever too. But then there are ritzy churches that have all that plus lots of multipurpose rooms and space and chapel. Not just for mass but like those have adult classes and children's classes and bible study and discussion and whatever....things constantly happening....and then there are sprawling campuses... Remember the Branch Davidians in Waco? Yes those are everywhere too. So many buildings all jammed to the gills with rooms and auditoriuums and spaces and tvs and security and whatever. It's just a lifestyle at that point. They grow up in it. They live it. They volunteer at it. All these I've seen lately are vaguely Christian. I mean when everyone around you constantly says it, and this is what you believe you also have to say and believe RE: trump...you don't understand anything else.

The central tenet of American Christianity has always been hate, it's not surprising it's always gravitated towards people like Trump.

I only saw this question today, sorry for the delayed reply. (I try to limit my presence in this thread to every 2-3 days at most, reduces my ban chances) I think cuervo's comment about Don, Jr isn't the most unlikely thing. If he wants the mantle, there's a good chance he could get it. My next most likely guesses would be the game of thrones scenario OR someone Trump specifically, personally, and fervently anointed. On a side note -- and no, I don't consider it pejorative or anything so no sweat at all, I just feel like I should clarify -- I couldn't tell you the last time I got near a message board for Trump or hardly any candidate. I simply know, both quite well and in passing, a pretty high number of people that are involved on multiple levels of support. I know people who've done the caravans/bus tours last time around, I know people working in/with the campaign in DC, and in Georgia. Some are well 'round the bend in their support, others are more ... grounded about it. And one or two haven't really spoken to me since I made my full support of DeSantis known.

He should have been ordered to go there immediately. Now he gets 3 more weeks to spit vile rhetoric to his unhinged masses.

Bannon's lawyer was the last person to see Jeffrey Epstein alive.

Yeah he's shown no remorse no admitting that he was wrong for any of it, seems like disbarrment is on the way soon for him.

Thanks for the insight. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say it ends up being Don Jr. with Ivanka pulling strings behind the scenes. But it'll be kind of crazy getting there. One thing history has shown is that when you have a large group of people looking for a leader, there are no shortage of volunteers willing to step up and fight to be that leader. |

I'd honestly be surprised if Ivanka gets anywhere near politics once her dad is gone. I think Don Jr and Eric both try to take the throne. Eric is a moron, though, and Don Jr is coked out of his mind most the time so I'm not sure it really goes anywhere. Neither have the charisma and survival instincts their dad has. I don't think MAGA works without Trump. He's created a kingdom where he's the unquestioned king and he won't allow anyone else to have enough air to carve out a name for themselves. I see a splinter group prevailing once he's gone, led by someone like Tom Cotton. |

No political figure has inspired the kind of reverence Trump has. For literally tens of millions he is as much a religious symbol as he is a politician. The only other one who has ever come close is Hitler.
There is no denying he has inspired millions to vote who otherwise wouldn't have. Granted it is the worst kind of people, but their votes still count. I don't think there is anyone who could take his place. He is truly one of a kind. This is why I think the GOP is in real trouble. Once Trump is gone, either dead or god forbid serves a second term, the party is going to see a real fracture between the pre Trump version and the MAGA version that will tried to be held together, likely by Don Jr., Vivek, or some other Trump "light" candidate but they won't have the same cache and the movement likely dies but takes anough votes with them that the pre Trump group, likely lead by people like Haley, Suunuu, Larry Hogan, won't get enough support. |

No one can replace him. They've tried for years but can't capture his charisma. Hate him all you want, but he's far more entertaining and personable than any of his imitators.
While he's done some dumb stuff, he's got better political instincts than those trying to emulate him. He understands when something is "off" to people. Copycats go overboard and come across as weird. DeSantis wanting to inspect your kids genitals. Noem bragging about killing the family dog. He knew precisely when to bow out of the anti-woke stuff before it got creepy. And I think a big part of that is Trump doesn't care about the issues like those other people. He just wants to win and be the center of attention. He talked a big game on the campaign trail but mostly governed like any other establishment Republican. He'll do a complete 180 on an issue like banning TikTok if he sees it as a path to winning (which was a smart decision). So when he is gone, I think that era kind of ends. Maybe there's an entertainer or businessman who has charisma and experience working the public. But I jdon't see any current politician or family member of his matching the weird, chaotic energy he has. |

Today Trump argued against electric boats because when they sink he might have to decide between being electrocuted by the battery or being eaten by a shark.

The best part of it (and I do recommend watching it b/c whether you love Trump or not, it is pretty funny) is when he is explaining how he asked this MIT scientist about having to choose between being electrocuted by the sinking boat or being eaten by the shark, and the scientist said that no one had ever asked that question before. *That* I beleive. |

Didn't we learn in Jaws Pt 24 that sharks can also be electrocuted?
Or maybe Sharknado? Surely Mark Paul Gosselaar has some thoughts on this issue.
