The Trump cult will not end by Democrats winning once. It is a symptom of an abandoned society.

Trump is not even the final form. We're already seeing sequels popping up in the likes of JD Vance.

If Trump loses his career is over. He turned sycophant in order to get the VP pick; turning on every single thing he said about Trump before that.

No one likes a sycophant. And if he then tries to return to his old positions, he'll be ripped apart by both people who see right through it and by whatever remains of MAGA.

This is a one-shot for Vance. If they lose, he's going down with Trump.

He's also pretty unlikely to be healthy enough to run again in 4 years.

Good thing then that Vance is an uncharismatic idiot.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nonsense. For whatever reason, people follow trump with a fervor. Vance doesn't have that.

[–] refalo@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

That fervor was not out of control until after he became president, the same could happen with anyone else.

Nonsense. They unite behind Trump because he has the highest win percent. They defend Trump for the same reason Democrats defend Biden. They don't like the guy they just want red to win.

Right, but the question is how much political power they have. If their candidates don't get elected, nobody cares if they still exist.
