    Fascism needs a strong leader - authoritarianism is at the core of fascism. Of course the rank and file don’t go away, but without a strong leader, they lose their power.

    Serious question: Referring back to the points I made in my previous post, who is going to effectively step into the fascism void in the US when Trump is gone?

    Vance? He’s a clown and isn’t a true believer in Trumpism

    DeSantis? Another clown

    Ken Paxton? He’s evil enough but not sure he has the charisma to inspire the MAGAts

    Trump’s base is comprised of sniveling sycophants who don’t have the personality, influence, or will to actually try and take over
