    Aren't Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader and Jesse Ventura all dead?

    The issue is the Republican Party no longer has any policy principles except Trump. There’s nothing conservative about their platform. Trump is very much a diety or false idol.

    So when someone like JD steps in the only thing he can do to stay relevant for the cause is preach from the book of Trump and somehow be able to credibly say he’s following Trumps commandments. Which therein lies the problem. Trump is often a contradiction to himself, and because he lies about obvious things and those lies are about his biggest policy ideas (ie Mexico is going to pay for it) JD will fail. There is no Trump text or bible he can follow and keep the base in line.

    So we are in for some craziness when that day comes. It’ll be like in game of thrones when king Robert died. Only way dumber and more annoying. I think RFK has a better chance at taking over honestly because at least he has his own cult that has its own base of nuts and the capability of absorbing many of Trumps nuts who will believe anything and everything as long as it’s a snake oil con artist selling it to them.

    The question will break down to two parties within the Party
    TRUMPERS and the TECHBROs

    Trump is the only thing holding that coalition together
    JD maybe TOO techbro for the Trumps

    People like Marjorie Taylor Green might see this as their opportunity
    (not necessarily her but someone like her)

    There are opportunists waiting
    Fortunately for Vance . . . that person is not in the Cabinet IMO

    With a little more time to groom more people into buying his snake oil do you think RFK could get there? I mean it would be like going from one cult to another but isn’t where if you are susceptible to one cult aren’t you susceptible to all? I guess that’s a question for smarter folks than me about the human condition.

    He still a Kennedy
    That name alone is enough keep him out the big seat IMO
    Some of his non-medical ideas may not align with their sensativities
    He is seen as a turncoat democrat
    He is only "maga" because of bribe/favor trading .. . not "True MAGA"

    J.D. Vance questioned whether Trump is like Hitler




    Opioid of the Masses


    To many, Donald Trump feels good, but he can’t fix America’s growing social and cultural crisis,
    and the eventual comedown will be harsh.

    By J. D. Vance


    The great tragedy is that many of the problems Trump identifies are real,
    and so many of the hurts he exploits demand serious thought and measured
    action—from governments, yes, but also from community leaders and
    individuals. Yet so long as people rely on that quick high, so long as wolves
    point their fingers at everyone but themselves, the nation delays a
    necessary reckoning. There is no self-reflection in the midst of a false

    euphoria. Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit.
    But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.

    im not sure what a couple tweets and AI art work has to do with reality.
    Why do you lefts dwell in fantasy hell so much? Is general happiness not an option for you all?

    Lol!!

    That’s the reality we have been living past 10 years. That is the reality we had to engage and defend/protest in conversations.

    The concept of reality sure took a weird turn !!
