MAGA is classic Cult of Personality, and there is no #2. They’re all Narcissists, so they all fancy themselves the heir apparent, but the followers will make the ultimate decision, and the moment Trump dies, so does most MAGA support. They love TRUMP, not just some political kiss-ass, or some offspring with the Trump name. Don Jr, or any of them, will be as popular as Frank Sinatra, Jr.
When Trump croaks, the knives will come out, and the backstabbing will begin.
Frankly, the more likely outcome of the MAGA crash will be that the Trump family will pivot to religion, and deify Trump, which is why they all have to go to jail, before embarking on their next family grift.
People say this like they said that Trump had no chance in 2016. It seems right, but we get repeatedly proven wrong. Honestly it sounds like one of those malicious lies meant to make us complacent. Not you, but the originator (whoever they might have been).
It still doesn’t make sense that Trump won. By all logic it should not have been close. However the best explanation is he successfully played outrage media to convince gullible, low information and racists that he was what he wanted, and somehow turned it into a personality cult. The bombast and bs was strong with that one
But Vance’s main qualification is lack of shame. That doesn’t turn into a personality cult. Neither does submissive loyalty to the cult leader. Neither has there been any public sign of him rising in the cult
I sure hope you’re right! The always-votes-right crowd will just vote for whoever they’re told to, including Vance, so I definitely hope that any right-leaners who have broken away and are sick of Trump now don’t fall for it all over again with Vance.
Even without him commanding a cult of personality, the right still has a fire hose of propaganda blasting to hell and back… And I don’t foresee that changing. I think the propaganda is a way bigger factor here and I’m still not sure if enough of the populace is paying enough attention to sort fact from fiction.

They’re not friendly enough for the Sith Rule of 2, so they go with a Rule of 1.

He got primary easily, and the general because it’s only a two party system and when the economy and things are bad the incumbent gets voted out.
This guy did a bit on the notion of what happens when their cult leader is gone…
