The fascist rank and file don’t go away because they no longer see themselves among a cavalcade of strongmen impersonators, they have been invigorated and organizing to find each other thanks to how mainstream fasicms has become. They will either identify with one, take matters into their own hands like some brown shirt vigilantes, or best case, split among a few different people. That kind of post leader schism is what turned the Black Panthers into the Bloods and the Crips.
Maga got violent when Trump won making ‘random’ hate crime rates spike, and they organized to attempt a coup when he lost. The violence is unavoidable at this point, thats the point behind saying you can’t vote this out. There is no peaceful transition away from fascism. We can only hope they’re at each others throats instead of ours.
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
