Sometimes I wonder if the Republican Party will keep chugging along with an AI generated Trump for a few years after he croaks.

Nobody else seems to have his weird appeal and ability to let stupid statements roll off his back. In the hands of anyone else, this administration should have been overthrown as a clan of self-interested moronic tyrants. And yet with Trump, somehow middle America cheers on their own money being taken from their pockets.

I have little doubt that you could generate a bunch of asinine tweets and videos and use an obese body double on a golf course while they try to find someone else who makes Americans celebrate their own demise.

MAGA is a classic Cult of Personality, and Trump's death will be the end. Like all Dictators, he won't name a successor because he doesn't want to give any power to anyone else, so he'll let Rubio and Vance fight it out for his own entertainment.

Meanwhile there are a bunch of MAGA losers entertaining the fantasy of taking over MAGA when Trump dies. Guys like Don Jr. You don't think he feels like he's ENTITLED to succeed his father to the throne? Or Hegseth? Or Lindsey Graham? Or DeSantis? Or Abbot? Or Tucker Carlson?

When Trump assumes room temperature, the knives are going to come out, and the backstabbing will begin. It will be glorious.

I have a few theories on what will happen after Trump is dead. My first theory is that most of his followers will go full Waco or Jonestown and drink the Kool-Aid. Or we could end up with a Dalai Lama situation where they believe his spirit is in the body of a Someone else the leading to arise of fake charlatans, such as with Megachurch pastors. And my final theory is that they won’t believe that he is dead and it will be similar to how people still say they see Elvis or spot Bigfoot in the woods.

The Q MAGA branch is going to say that he's still alive, while blaming Liberals for his murder, even if he croaked while giving a speech on live TV.

I think your third theory will definitely happen. It seems to be a cultural obsession to believe that their heroes are still out there hiding from the spotlight.

Theory number two is quite plausible too. A second coming of Trump could certainly happen. It terrifies me that thousands of years from now, he could get exalted enough that he is discussed like a messiah.

Theory one is a bit further fetched, but maybe a handful of nutters?

For sure all 3 of my theory's have some sort of realization and over the top dumb shit. I do think and feel that the Messiah possibility is very likely when he dies. It might be even on the same scale as Al-Qaeda, where we have a large wave of violence from his cult members.
