Trump has now gone on a course to destroy 4th of July. It will be 100% Trump Rally.

There is a good chance he will not make it to 2027. But also, he could just croak now in the 2026 ceremonies. We will bring back Squeaky Tank for the funeral.

Waiting for him to die is not a reliable political strategy, nor a viable approach to bringing about political change in favour of ordinary US citizens. Trump's political brand is now baked in and there are any number of people ready to pick up the MAGA banner and to 'honour of his legacy' with even more extreme nonsense.

I agree. Whatever satisfaction/elation/relief may arise for non-Trumpists from his demise it'll be nearly irrelevant to the political stance of his followers. He's a figurehead around which xenophobes, jingoists, and bigots rally but pretty much all of them held those beliefs before he got into politics.

The Republican Party has long been a home for many who became Trumpists and will remain so after he's gone. Republican politicians have seen how effectively his unadorned nastiness works to motivate a significant percentage of their voters and the party will likely continue along the same lines until it stops working for them. Practically all of the policies he's been pushing align with those of the party as well.

No. When Trump is gone, it is all gone. Nobody inherits trumpism and carries on. MAGA crawls back to beating their wife
