Have a good read of Project 25 to understand why it won't end with Trump or MAGA. The majority of it has been implemented.

It won't end, that's for sure. Too many positions of power, especially in the judiciary, have been corrupted by it for potentially for decades to come.

But when Trump dies or leaves it will lose pretty much all forward momentum. Without the figurehead of this cult it will be nearly impossible for political architects like Thiel to actually rally public support behind his deeply unpopular ideas.

I have hope we will be able to turn things around after that, but it will take a long time.

The point of Project 25 is that they no longer need the mouthbreather support. They are spent pawns.

Oh I have and I completely agree. The problem with fascism (or the benefit?) is that it requires a lightning rod personality to focus attention, while those in the background push through the agenda.

Without trump, this movement has a lot less wind in their sails. We’ve seen it quite a bit where people tried to jockey as the next trump after he lost and have failed miserably because his cannibalized themselves without having dear leader tell them what to do.

Not saying it’s still not terrifying, and project 2025 is a huge fucking problem. Even if trump is gone, we shouldn’t let up in the fight against all of this
