People keep saying MAGA falls apart when Trump dies, but what I’m not seeing is what people think all these supporters will do? Surely we’re not thinking they’ll suddenly deconvert until reasonable people or even what used to be Republicans.
If we’re really honest, this is what the Republican party has been building up to for decades. I’m trying to see the optimism that they’ll just go back in the box but I’m just not seeing it
I’m not optimistic about them “going back in the box” as it were but that fracture into competing factions will allow more reasonable leaders to get it. Kinda how Bernie was winning before moderates unified behind Biden but sorta in reverse.
Trump won the R primary in 2016 and 2024 because the others didn’t unify.
I don’t think they’ll deconvert. I do hope they will become apathetic without their “charismatic” leader. I don’t think Vance will be able to hold people’s attention as well or rile them up to the same degree.
Side note: Calling Trump “charismatic” makes me want to vomit, but apparently he is for some people…
