An important part of trump is that, for some reason, he has the juice that nobody else does.

And not only is he the only one with the juice, the cult built around him has created an incredibly strong negative to anyone else trying to directly wield the power he's amassed.

We've seen it when the GOP briefly tried to jettison Trump in favor of 1 or two other contenders and it just dissolved

Its gonna be MESSY when he's gone, especially if he makes it through the whole term. Every 2-but copycat vying for what's left of his base when he's not longer an option. And if he's still around at that point, they're also fighting against him.

Trump's inevitable death will annihilate the GOP and i can't wait for it.

It's going to go up like a fireworks factory made entirely of C4, but it'll ultimately leave a vaccuum even the spineless cowards in the DNC can't help but capitalize on.

Even him surviving the whole term is REALLY bad for them because no matter what, he becomes dead weight immediately. Even if he hand-picks a successor and puts his whole bussy into pushing him (which i don't see happening), idk that it would work because not even he knows why he has the juice.

If trump had any idea what gave him the juice, he wouldn't be consistently surrounding himself with the most juiceless people I've ever seen.

What if when trump does the Dems decide to fully shift to the right to capitalize on that power vacuum and then we get an actual left wing party that replaces the Dems.

I can dream

It'd be cool.

Won't happen, we'll just get more feckless paid opposition and a damping back of the most overt socially awful policies.

But it'd be cool.

That is assuming the oligarchs are actually going to let you have fair elections after his death. It isn't that difficult for a billionaire to buy the rights to voting machines and their politician minions to block any investigations.
