no one has the charisma he does and lots of people will fight for the attention people are dooming about his death not making things better but i can't see people making it worse than the current expectations

I've never understood the charisma thing with him. I can't think of many people more repulsive and worthy of contempt. He's not charming, he's disgusting. But to other people with disgusting hearts, it must have just that much pull.

As repulsive as he is, I think he has a lifetime of being in the spotlight and understanding some element of what sells, with a mixture of never admitting defeat to create this cult leader who can cheat the system. I do think it’s hard to replicate this evil of a product of our society

I do think he opened the doors for everyone else, and even if you had half the charisma, that’s a whole generation of people now realizing none of the rules matter as long as you win the narrative. Which is really dangerous against a party that follows rules to the dearh

This was always the plan. Use him to move things so far right that even when he's out of the picture and the center moves back to the left, the new normal is still far more right than it was.

Yep. Control the narrative, control everything. There's a reason why history gets written by the "winners". It doesn't have to be true, people just have to repeat the narrative enough that it just becomes accepted as such.

That being said, I don't think I've seen any republican show any sort of devotion like this to anyone else. Any politician in Trump's good graces who steps out of line or doesn't immediately take a knee to him becomes a pariah to them. That, and they all have the charisma of wet tissue paper.

I guess when you've been rich your whole life and been able to fail upward to become one of the highest authorities on the planet, you just start thinking that not only do you never lose, you *can't possibly* lose. Inspiration by pure fucking audacity and appealing to society's deepest prejudices.

people who get to the top tend to believe they are there for a reason. either because they are good at what they do or they were ordained by god rather than by mostly luck.

If they thought any old Republican could replicate his success they wouldn't have run him three times in a row (and a fourth if they could)

I dont think Vance has the guts to continue trying to turn this country into a dictatorship, and even if he did try, he'd be a laughing stock because he has the personality of a cardboard box.
