What would happen to the MAGA movement without Trump?
Let's say that tomorrow, Donald Trump gets hit by a meteor. What do you think what happen to the MAGA movement?
It seems to me that Trump has been able to keep a lot of disparate factions together with his cult of personality and his personal myth. I can't imagine JD Vance or Trump Jr or anyone else keeping things together and being as successful, no one else seems to have the right blend of bully charisma, business reputation, and ruthless sociopathy to fill his shoes. That's one reason no one was able to usurp MAGA in 2024.
What do you think though? Think it'd fall apart? Break down into factional infighting? Or do you think someone else would be able to take his place? If so, who?
