    I respect your perspective, but I’m not convinced. Everyone I’ve seen say that just asserts it as fact, even though there is no shortage of demagogues in the alt-right. So many people think this ends with Trump and aren’t planning for what comes next, it seems.

      Its not that there arent replacement but that they arent nearly as useful. Shit would still be bad but itd be like 20 percent more manageable, not brilliant but it buys time. Also cults of personality have a tendency towards imploding without the head, meaning without Trump a lot of his supporters would most likely become inactive.

      Its not that im not considering what comes after its that I am hoping historical tendencies apply and it implodes allowing some amount of retaliation towards the hanger ons.
