    They have nobody who can hypnotise the masses the way he can. While the fascists will undoubtedly still be dangerous, the “movement” (yes, I’m aware who else called it that) will fizzle out.

      I wish you were right, but again… that’s what people thought of Chávez. Don’t underestimate the stupid.

      Just because the Republicans have yet to bring another fascist that has the charisma that Trump has, doesn’t mean they won’t have a fascist with the amount of charism of trump had.

      Trump wasn’t an aberration, he’s the new normal for Republicans. It’s just a matter of time before the next person who knows how to jingle their keys in front of the idiot masses and they find a new ‘god emperor’ to obsess over. And with our luck, they won’t be nearly as stupid and incompetent as trump is.
