        I don’t think you’ll find anyone with Trump’s “charisma” that quickly who would appeal to the MAGA crowd in the same way. Of course, I could be wrong about that.

            Because they were told that Trump would protect them against all of the bad things that Trump’s backers were blasting into their brains 24/7 via social media and partisan ‘news’ organizations.

            Ignorance and disinformation did way more work that Trump’s charisma which is, as you’ve said, lacking

          There’s a part of me that agrees, trump has a wild hold on the maga crowd. Buuuuut I also have trouble thinking of something that would make it easier for some non trump to channel that same energy than an assassination.

            I think there would be a civil war first and then a new system would be established if the USA didn’t splinter. It would initially be worse in terms of violence, but in the long term the fascism that Trump imposes will be more brutal. However, Russia, China, North Korea, etc. would take direct advantage of these circumstances. It’s all just absolute shit.

        It would create a power vacuum, and the traditional constitutional democratic norms and processes have already been destroyed.

        So it would be a literal bloodbath.

        And it probably would not end well for America.
