In reply to the discussion: I've been thinking. What if Trump unexpectedly died? Would his movement collapse? [View all]Ocelot II
(115,683 posts)the RW conspiracy theorists will have started blaming his demise, which will almost surely be the expected result of his lifetime of sloth and bad food, on BLM, Antifa and Nancy Pelosi, or maybe Hillary on account of how she did in Vince Foster. The GQPers in Congress will demand investigations and will insist on the most yuge and beautiful state funeral ever. But because there is no heir apparent, no matter how desperately and obsequiously the climbers have sought that position, the movement (aptly named) could gradually collapse. There is nobody in the current GQP who has the same malign carnival-barker charisma. They're assholes, but they come across as weak, whiny and ineffectual. However, some of the crazier MAGAts are likely to try to stir shit up, just because.
