Man, when Trump is gone it will be like the political landscape has had two legs and an arm amputated.

Like, what will people even talk about?

Hopefully not politics. I think politics being boring is good and I hope someday in the future we can go back to boring politics where people actually look at complex issues and their solutions instead of the breathless red-face screeching we have now.

Someone equally reprehensible will come along to replace him, imho.

I think Trump is this weird amalgamation of all the worst things in America - racism, celebrity worship, pro-business bullshit, grifting/fraud, unbridled narcissism, baby boomer poo poo, and (only after getting elected in 2016) religious fundamentalism - that will be impossible to replicate. Like, the closest thing we have to another Trump is Elon, and thank god he was not born American.

Elon would get elbow deep into a bin full of LSD and pontificate about how he thinks unicorns and white dwarf stars are actually the same thing somehow before he could put in a serious effort to become president. Trump feels way more dangerous because he will burn his money, those around him, his reputation, himself as long as it gets him as much attention as possible.

I mean lets be honest, if Elon's eligibility to be president came before the current SCOTUS trash heap, there would absolutely be a hysterical dissenting opinion from Alito and Thomas.

Elon's name comes up a lot in these hypotheticals, but, like it or not, Trump has charisma. Elon is a charisma black hole.

Trump rose by just saying all the quiet parts out loud. Elon certainly believes all those things but he would just stand in front of a crowd and be like “We….uh…there’s a fundamental need to…..to increase our uh…space, to have the resources at magnitudes of order…uh, larger”.

Whenever he tries to do a trump it fails so bad. When he was like "go gently caress yourself" to advertisers you could tell he thought he was going to get a standing ovation but it was just crickets in the audience.

I just realized the Actual Names account that looks up old funny name records nonstop posts names of likely Trump associates. Edgar Swell Blowers, Nathan Bare Weiner, Sis Whackoff, Private Moses Jackoff, Harry Klitt, Harry Pooplet, Katherine Crapps Greene, etc. Pretty sure every one of those people worked for Don alongside Tony Tortellini and Craig Calamari.

Yeah, he is a perfect avatar of all that was both ubiquitous and wrong with Gen X and the Boomers. Looking to replace him with another version of him is a fool's errand because his direct analogs are all dying off, just like him. What you need to do is start looking for the person who's the most emblematic of all the worst qualities Millennials and Zoomers embody and that will be your Next Generation Trump.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Yeah, once Trump is gone there will be others that will try to take his place but none of them will stick. The election of Donald Trump was such a perfect storm that's impossible to replicate, and any attempts at replicating it artificially will be seen as fake by his supporters, or they'll splinter to such an extent no one will be able to get close to his popularity.

We might see another Trump decades from now, but who knows what that would even look like.

If Elon could run for president the main worry I’d have is that he’d be able to straight up buy his way to victory, and even then idk how likely that is. He doesn’t have the savvy business man mythos behind him like trump did and lord knows he can’t lay down instantly attention grabbing bullshit like Don can. The boomers would look at him and think he’s a dumb millennial with a stupid voice. Instant loser with the voting public.

Eh, I would hope that Trump is an aberration but I'm not convinced. You look at where Trump came from and it's freaking Roy Cohn and McCarthyism. American politics has been a toxic mess previously and I'm not counting on that just going away.

Also yes, Elon is obviously the Antichrist. He has Mr. Beast and he also has the blue check marks i.e the mark of the beast.
