On my first trip to Las Vegas, I was walking through the lobby of the second rate hotel I was staying in at about 3 pm in the afternoon, and I heard a voice that sounded a bit familiar. I poked my head into the lounge, and there was Frank Sinatra, JR, doing a free set, at 3 in the afternoon, in a second rate hotel, with about 3 tables watching.
That’s the Trump spawn - nobody cares about them. MAGA is a classic cult of personality, and once he assumes room temperature, there will be NO replacement, by a Trump, or anyone else. Plenty of them will claim that they deserve to take the helm, but his followers won’t accept ANY of them.
When Trump croaks, MAGA, and the entire right, will fall apart. It will be at least two election cycles before they even start to get their shit together.
The Dems should be preparing for this moment, and should have a plan to exploit it ruthlessly when it happens.
MAGA may fall apart but all those xenophobic, racist, transphobic, ableist etc etc pieces of shit with the civic and political literacy of a doorknob won’t go away.
In the US there are people dumb enough to storm the Capitol because their leader told them to.
Even if Trumps croaked tomorrow, it would be a matter of time before the sore starts festering again.

the only plan the Democrats have is to continue 90% of the things Trump has done and hand-wringing over the remaining 10% in the name of “national unity”
