When Trump is gone, the MAGA cult will dissolve. However, what will the individual members do? A cult of any kind is like a drug. MAGA people will miss their 'supply'. What do people who miss their 'supply' do? They tend to get violent from withdrawal. I fear that after Trump is gone, the MAGA people will become worse.
Carville said it plain. On his War Room show he told the country that Trump would walk away from the presidency by Easter of 2027. He spoke of a hard break coming in November, a rejection so large the Dorito Don would not stay to face it.
And the GOP—well, they tied their hopes to him. Hitched the whole wagon and never looked back. Now they stand and watch the thing they built burn down to ash. A hard truth to swallow. Disappointing, sure. But anyone with clear eyes could have seen it coming. Makes a man wonder what kind of wild hands are steering that outfit these days.
Interesting read. FDR vanquished domestic fascism, communism, and the Third Reich. Teddy Roosevelt saved Yosemite. Johnson created at least a pathway to civil rights for all. Fun to muse about, but ultimately a reflection of the muser more than the Presidents.
Men like FDR and the others were cut from a different cloth. They rose when the country was raw and hurting, and they carried its weight without complaint. But men like that grew scarce once the nation found its footing. In their place came what some now call the Epstein class — people who chase pleasure and money above all else. They move through the world without care for the harm they leave behind or the principles they break. The Constitution means little to them. The country even less.
Thomas you are right. Hall does know better but doesn't want to offend MAGA. Here's the lead sentence for Trump's obituary: Donald J Trump, the only US President to be impeached twice and convicted in a state trial,
At this point I’m of the very cynical opinion that there are no longer any “good” republicans anywhere any longer. They’ve all managed, in some way or other, to sell what passes for a soul, to the devil for 20 pieces of silver. The old Republican Party is no longer. Trump buried it just as Lindsey Graham said he would.

You’re seriously “disappointed” by a republican favoring trump?! Where have you been?
Any “high hopes” (emphasis on “high”) for any Republican to do anything right disappeared a long time ago.
Here’s a list :
Washington saved the colonies (new country)
Lincoln saved the Union
FDR saved the world
Reagan brought down the Iron Curtain and saved the world again.
