I think Trump will die in office. Either his atrocious lifestyle will catch up to him, or he'll be assassinated by Putin, one of the members of his entourage, Musk, or possibly a cartel.
Eventually someone is going to decide he's more trouble than he's worth. They'd be wrong, though, because he's the glue holding the MAGA movement together. Vance isn't anywhere near as charismatic (to his base).
While I agree, considering Peter Thiel wanting all of this to lead to a government collapse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment)
and his influence on Vance https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jd-vance-trump-vp-peter-thiel-billionaire/
certainly means that the accelerationism won’t stop and I don’t think we should discount the power social media can wield
Social media and surveillance capitalism being used for "conservative" propaganda and disinformation are arguably THE leading cause for the size, scale, and success of the MAGA-fascist mental illness.
