Yeah, hope Carolyn is right. Trump is a pretty unique animal. It is not clear his particular brand of crazy cult leader is transferable. The fascists will always be here, but someone who can really get the moronic masses energized? That's more or an unknown.

@mastodonmigration It happens every generation or so. My point is, just because he may go away, it in no way guarantees that Trumpism/MAGA will, but just in a different form. He may be the loudest and most charismatic/effective for the moment, but there will be others. @CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti

@GottaLaff @mastodonmigration @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti I will never understand people using "charismatic" with the man. He is so revolting. His look, accordion hands, enunciation, rambling word salads, his anus-shaped mouth spouting nothing but diarrhea.

You are right there. The Nazis didn't go away when Hitler was defeated. They just waited for someone like Trump to rally around to reassert their poison.
BTW. Love this old Chumbawamba song on this subject...

Well, you probably wouldn't have been swept away by Hitler's shtick either. But it is pretty undeniable that Trump's nonsense appeals to lots of people, as difficult as that is to comprehend.

@GottaLaff @mastodonmigration @CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti There are hundreds of white nationalist incel-types who are champing at the bit to replace Trump. They fancy they are smarter than Trump so can succeed where he has failed. Why do you think a whole bunch of wannabe Trumps have podcasts? Why do you think Wannabe Kennedy Jr endorsed Trump?! Ted Cruz? Tucker? Josh Hawley? Fascista Gabbard?

So many of them only appeal to one set of white men! -

They are so self-centered and myopic they think all white guys are like them or wannabe them, which is why Tim Walz so naturally and easily destroys their stupid illusions about what women want -- it's not them. Not the tanned testicle, fake flannel, I hate women "alpha" MAGA men.

Which is why getting Steve Kerr and Steph Curry to speak at the DNC was so impactful. You don't have to be a jerk to be masculine. And why having the New York Time publish this weird ode to the 'Manoverse' is so twisted.
