I’m not sure anyone can explain the particular confluence of characteristics that makes TFG relatively immune from consequence. Change any one thing and he’s suddenly not him, so he loses his unique appeal.

Berlusconi had a similar political appeal. After he exited politics, his party went to the biggest in Italy to insignificant.
It will be really difficult for someone to pick up the Republican Party and run with the same platform as DJT. Many have tried it (e.g. de santis) but none is able to have the same success.
