it will actually probably make things worse because then they'd likely have someone competent in power
but holy shiiiiit it will be so funny
While anyone else would indeed be more competent, they wouldn't have the same cult-like following which I think is needed
Yes, after Bonespurs has his final Big Mac Attack I fully expect MAGA to self-destruct in an orgy of backstabbing, as they all scramble for their little bits and pieces of the reeking power vacuum. None of them have anything like his bizarre charisma to hold onto millions of believers no matter what.
Trump has also attacked any contender to the throne, because if he has a successor lined up, they might try to take the throne early.
A lot of the reason he's so much worse this time around is that most of the beuracracy was either left intact or replaced with moderately competent people the first time. They'd ignore everything that came out of his mouth and only do stuff when he signed an EO, reverting when a court blocked it.
This time it's all true believers or people will do anything for power and think making him happy will get them that. They take the initiative to implement his word salad and have much longer attention spans, sidestepping or ignoring the courts to keep pushing. Insignificant picks like the head of national parks are shoving his face on passes, painting a pool with zero planning because he mentioned it once, and blowing their whole budget on an arch.
There was drama surrounding him firing prosecutors in his first term, but the replacements all got picked by establishment conservatives. This time, a bunch of the key prosecutors are his former attorneys or hardcore supporters, leading to a bunch of vengeful prosecutions.
Unless it's supposed to be like Rabban to Feyd
I've been saying it, Trump is openly corrupt, but JD Vance is the boytoy of Thiel, you DO NOT want Thiel having direct power. I want Trump to live a nice long 2 more years.
Hoping for January 21st, 2029.
Although some want him to stand trial, that's not going to happen. Best to just be rid of him, and not make him a martyr for the 33% who still inexplicably support him.
