My concern is that if he were to drop dead tomorrow that a large portion of his followers will just say something dumb like he’s gone undercover in an attempt to take over the deep state. And then proceed to add him in as a write in ballot for the next several decades.
Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time.

Those votes would just get thrown out in that case, so if that’s what they want to do, they are welcome to do so.

Yeah, that would actually be a great scenario for us. Dead Trump splitting the Republican vote for the next 2 decades would be chef’s kiss.

An element of what you say is true, but he’s also a cult of personality that they’re really going to struggle to replicate. Trump literally only cares about himself and has taken zero (0) steps to develop successors. Right now, JD Vance is poised to lead the movement, and he has the personality of a potato

Yeah, he’s going to be the new Reagan they pray to for decades.
