    Sadly pulling out is not something the family is known for. Imagine if his father had. Man now wouldn’t that be something.

      The most patriotic thing his father could have done was

      Tap for spoiler

      come on his mother’s tits

      Seriously though. Fuck this American nonsense already.

        I don’t think so. Don’t get me wrong, trump is 100% a symptom. But there’s no one with even close to the cult of personality. Not even Musk. Who would takeover? Couch fucker? Thiel? That ghoul Ellison?

        Nah, without trump they would have to be smarter and more competent to push their evil. And shockingly sometimes competent evil is better than stupid evil. I’d rather not see either. But that’s not a choice we get to make unfortunately.

          I think you’re right no one else had the personality to form the cult, but the behind the scenes player have gotten where they need to be and are embedded enough they don’t need what follows to be another Trump. Elon is too egotistical to control, Vance has no charisma but will comply (better than Pence did). It won’t matter if the cult dissolves, they played their part, and even their objections won’t matter.

            I don’t know I think if people saw Shadow president Miller and his raving they would be pretty turned off. Elon isn’t really directly involved anymore. Peter Thiel knows he turns people off by them looking at him.

          anyone could be pumped up by the media over a long enough timespan, just like trump was.
