I beg to differ, mostly because I can almost garuntee a power struggle. None of those within or fuck even without the administration are set up as successors to the cult of personality. If Trump died tomorrow I would give it a month max before we see Vance trying to purge the cabinet and large sections of Maga going dorment. Especially with rising prices and AI data center backlash, it's entirely possible the current Maga coalition fractures as they position themselves as anti-AI to try to coalesce power and since nobody cares for Vance nobody would give a damn about him being thrown under the bus.
Well, I hope you are right - but I don't see it.
Can't make any garuntees but that tends to be how cults of personality disintegrate, it happened with the Soviets, Germany, and even Reagan to a degree. The question comes down to specifics and whether or not the power vacuum causes infighting. The only real group I'm somewhat certain about are those who are only Maga because of Trump and only because of Trump and were otherwise apolitical before Trump. That particular sub group is basically only in it for Trump and is why the Republicans have been suffering in the mid terms since 2018 give or take.
Honestly I suspect the post 2012 Republican election autopsy still holds true, it's just that Trump fucked up the variables.
not trying to be a dick, but you've spelled it twice like that now - it's "guarantee". Yes, I hate the English language too; though in our defense it's a word we stole from the French. And I'll never turn down an opportunity to blame the French, so neither should you.
If it makes it any better I tend to write phonetically which means that guarantee sounds gar-untee, which is why random ass words in my phones autocorrect are just mangled for no reason. I will continue to mangle random words to fit my dialect and none of you fuckers can stop me. Fun fact continue would spelt cuntinue in my dialect so I could be so much worse.
Also I concur fuck the French and their backwards ass spelling.
fair, I just can't tell what is merely personal preference and what is "I've not seen this word used often enough to know better", lots of non-native speakers have taught me never to assume. In my case, one I use a lot out of preference is "yanno" instead of "ya know/you know?"
Ya I get it. We all have dialect quirks and frankly I'm just particularly uncaring towards how I spell things. Like I said my dialect inverts certain noises due to its more guttural lean, I blame my German ancestors.
I feel it has become less of a personality cult and more of a kabal of powerful people keeping each other in power. I don't see them giving up their ambitions due to some demented old man croaking. Or due to election results, for that matter :(
That's actually exactly how the upper workings of cults of personality tend to work. You get a crop of lieutenants or whatever you want to call them who rise up and either expand their power or gain power via the leader, often times solidifying their own sub group under the leader. They can't do anything against the leader since the others would rip them apart and they can't go after the others without the leaders permission for basically the same reason. Once the leader is removed for one reason or another they tend to go after each other to obtain the leaders power and to further expand their own.
Upside to the current powerful dipshits is that they are borderline braindead and basically all their powers are questionable at best for one reason or another. Within the administration for example Kegsbreath they are broadly disliked and frankly too stupid to maintain anything long term. Without it's basically a house of cards held up by stocks and economic bubbles, if anything goes wrong faster enough they both will collapse.
And here's the thing, there are so many fucking landmines sitting in the trail the US is going down that it's not a matter of if but when something goes wrong and shatters their power. Something as simply as a botched natural disaster response could easily spiral into states severing communications with the feds, arguably it's already started in lesser forms with states denying information to the feds. Hell the ongoing oil crises could in theory shitcan interstate trade and cave in the economy outright, let alone the stupid trade wars.
My point is long term and even short term depending on circumstances is basically a garunteed pyrrhic victory. They are clunching sand with a mangled hand.
