I remember people saying Trump hadn't got the faintest prayer of winning in 2016 too.

The Trump of today is not the Trump of 2016. I wouldn't say it's impossible, given the last decade, but the guy recently called for the repeal of the Constitution so he could be reinstated as President and it barely got a ping on the media's radar. In 2020 that would have triggered a riot.

I think Trump is done, but Trumpism itself isn't. The base is going to look for more competent leadership, maybe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz or one of Trump's kids.

People here aren’t going to like to hear this, but think less Cruz and more Fuentes for the future of what you’re calling Trumpism, but if we’re going to be honest we should just call white identity politics.

I just finished a reread of Anathem and it’s left me disinclined towards “bullshytt.”

> more competent leadership, maybe Marjolie Taylor Greene...

lol
