    idk, If we still have a democracy by then I am not sure it transfers. Trump is a cult of personality. He could easily be a congressman in the right district but president?

    It is not unusual in monarchies for the first-born son to take over the line of succession.

      The plebs still need to believe it’s a democracy. That’s why Russia and North Korea have elections too, it gives the plebs the chance to vote for their dear leader

    It’s a cult and cults only follow the cult leader.

    Have fun living in your cult leader father’s shadow, dipshit.

    Holy shit this could really work. If anyone can keep the cult of Trump alive, it’s another Trump. Think of the hero worship of Kim Il Sung in North Korea. MAGA wants to deify Trump in just the same manner. Trump will become the great “God Emperor of America” who will fight to keep the Democrats out of heaven or w/e, and Trump Jr will act as Kim Jong Il and take over ruling.

    It really depends on how quickly the old sack of shit actually dies. It’s meant to be the most stressful job in the world, and he’s back to unlimited mcdonalds. If it happens quickly, maybe the whole house of cards just collapses.

      I’d argue it’s considerably less stressful when you’re too dimwitted to understand the stakes and potential consequences of your actions and inactions. Even more so when you’ve tossed out any sense of professionalism and decorum that comes with the job. The people flipping burgers for him have more stressful jobs than the miserable sack of rotten cosmetic product waste.

      History is full of power transitions where measures were taken to prevent the ousted dynasty from coming back into power.

      If it happens quickly, maybe the whole house of cards just collapses.

      If something happens to Putin, the same thing will probably occur. Trump is a puppet, and if the strings are cut, he won’t dance anymore.

      Reminder: less than half of us voted for Trump. I’m pissed at the morons who sat out the election, and I’m wondering if i can nomad my way back to Europe or Canada. Problem is, both are in the crosshairs of tyrants.

      I guess I’ll have to stand and fight, no matter what i do, since i fear Trump might succeed in eliminating legal opposition.
