No. People like Johnson will get "advisory" positions after congress has been dissolved. They will lack for nothing. Why be a weak government official who has to do stupid shit like running for re-election, when you can be part of the nobility and the King's court? Maybe Johnson or Taylor-Green will get their own little fiefdom where they can treat the peasants however they want? The power trip fantasies are truly endless in Trump's wondrous America.
...for about a 100 people give or take.
Nah, anyone who looks like they have a little power will die in our night of long knives. It's not possible to be sycophantic enough, you need to look weak enough. And you need to have backed the right leader, but Trump's not looking like he's got a real grip on the reins and I don't think they even know who will be.
Yup, it's the start of the new ruling class. Only ring kissers allowed.
