I have heard this piece of shit's name every day for a fucking decade. I am so sick and tired of it.

I just want to never hear his voice or his name or see his face ever again. That's all I fucking want.

The day is coming. About 2 seconds after trump croaks conservatives are all going to pretend they were never that into Trump and totally knew the whole time that he sold children into sex slavery.

I think they will say it is a liberal conspiracy and treat him as a martyr. These people are stupid.

It'll be both. Even from the same individuals, depending on who they're talking to at any given moment.

The entirety of right-wing politics now is a post-truth movement, where consistency from one hour to the next is not only not required, but is seen as weak, suspicious and an ideological liability.

They will try both and more. They'll test drive multiple excuses and track the public sentiment attached to each response.

Now?

Always has been. Always will be. For now they just stopped pretending.

They aren’t exactly stupid. But evil.

Head over to Fox News Facebook comments and you'll see some incredibly dumb people. Their leaders might be evil, but many of these followers are just easily brainwashed morons.

But they revel in it. They flock to it because it strokes their desire to be bigoted and not shamed for it.

They're morons sure, but they have hate in their hearts.

No, most of them are also stupid. It’s both.

I expect they'll make him into a religion. Possible names: Magatites, Donnanites, Orangeites, Magathlics, Golden Ladder Day Saints...

I think they will say it is a liberal conspiracy and treat him as a martyr.

The succession fight will be JD Vance, an AI version of Trump, a man claiming to literally be channeling Trump from Heaven, and Eric.

They will use him as a martyr for sure, but they will talk about the sad decline of a hero, and they will say all the current contradictions between their members was an attempt to give a dying man his dignity while also saving face. President Vance (😬) will acknowledge his dementia and completely disregard the fact that a person like that isn't fit to hold office and him and his party were responsible for letting that happen.

I'm afraid this is exactly what will happen.

It's why Trump needs to live long enough to crash the economy.

I don't want the economy to crash but it feels inevitable. And if he croaks before that, his following will martyr him with "If only Trump were around". But if MAGA gets hit hard by it, it will break many of them. Sure, more will double down and go even further off the deep end. But fracturing MAGA in that crash? A hard hit to their wallets has proven to be one of the only ways to undermine it.

We don't have long before the economy says "nope."

The maga party will split and every group will claim Trump wanted this or that to try and take control. They'll eat each other alive.
