On top of which, none of this blows over when Trump dies.

The damage will remain. But Trump holds the charisma power of his movement. MAGA will continue to exist, sure, but without a unifier and their proclivity for being "anti-establishment" in their aesthetics, they will likely splinter and in-fight.

Neocons will likely regain their footholds along post-trump grifters in the republican party. But they'll pale in comparison in their political power and influence.

RIghtwing politics in general however will thrive. The institutional capture is very thorough.

getting the fuck out of the way.

Of what? I think you'll be disappointed at the numbers that join a violent cause in favor of leftism in the US. And those stupid or crazy enough to do so are not going to be the most valuable contingent of individuals.

Getting out of the way of the conflict that's already here. I can't stand obstructionists that stand in the doorway, making things easier for the rot to stay. If you don't want to fight, then get the fuck out of the way is much more preferred option. And "Leftists" would not be their only opponents, lmao. It's anybody who is too poor to leave, and don't want to be tortured/raped/enslaved in the concentration camps. Leftism isn't even in the chat here, unless you think everything left of the Republican Party is leftist.

Trump has the charisma for now. And I've honestly never seen that charisma, only the effects it apparently has. To me it seems manufactured, and if it is, it can be manufactured for the next puppet. How it was manufactured was how much air time he had initially, and how the media sane washed him. Doesn't seem all that difficult to repeat the process, especially when the gullible are more than happy to eat that up as long as they get to keep hating. And the Billionaires have tightened their hold on the various public spaces since then.
