Where do the trump supporters go when trump dies?
Sounds like the beginning of a joke but really, what happens to the MAGA movement when the leader is no longer around? What happens to the GOP ? Do they become weaker and more divided? or can the national GOP rally around a new leader?
Every single one of them will claim they never really supported him.
Hopefully they all move to Russia and Belarus.
I think this is a super interesting question. My bet is that there will be a few years of GOP chaos after he dies.
I mean this as a Cassandra-like prediction of doom:
The Trumps will become the republican version of the Kennedys. The Bushes tried it, but somehow we’re both over-intellectual and insufficiently prejudiced to make it work in today’s gop.
If we're lucky, they'll follow him to hell.
Don Jr, of course....
The only cultnof personality that has successfully handed down succession is the Kim dynasty in north Korea...
They'll say he ascended and will await his return for thousands of years.
Oh they'll rally alright. All they need is some more fake outrage from Fox to get their panties all up in a bunch.
Either that or fox will just display words that alternate every few hours like "abortion" or "immigrants" and underneath it'll say "vote republican."
