    His base might fall apart. The people who voted for him. But those in power stay in power. Vought is the lynchpin on P25. Miller. Vance. Rubio. The oligarch assholes. They’ll live on.

      Might?

      The entire right-wing is an unstable house of cards that started being built in the Nixon Administration. (Literally, the Fox News President was Nixon’s media guy)

      The only thing holding that Narcissism Coalition together is Donald Trump’s necromancer.

      When Trump finally shuffles off to hell, the right will splinter into 3-5 factions.

      None of those factions will develop a majority among the right because the only thing they have in common is Trump’s celebratory bigotry and ability to lie without microexpressions setting off their internal alarms.

      EX: JD Vance and Stephen Miller and Mike Johnson are all Nazi trash but they are also three very different faces of the same evil. You won’t see them at the same cookout unless it’s some kind of bigoted work event.

        This is wishful thinking. Conservatives rallied around whoever their guy was at all times before Trump, just like they rally around Trump, and just like they’ll do with someone else once Trump is out of the picture.

          Yeah, they’ll attach themselves to whomever they think the biggest bully is.

        I have family members who just stay loyal to republicans. It’s bizarre, but it exists. Ranting about balancing the budget for years only to stand behind this admin denying anything negative, never mind the present budget.

        There is a centered, loyal, toe the line no matter what or who base out there.

      Epstein’s buddybud Bill Barr was in the Bush administration. That’s Bush SENIOR.

      Every new government is just a drink shaker of old names coming and going for decades.
