The Orange Idol, like all of us, is destined to die someday. What happens to the MAGA Revolution when that happens? The movement seems to be a bunch of conservative/reactionary policy wonks and billionaire funders propping up a popular figurehead. Can the wonks and oligarchs continue to move their agenda forward without that figurehead? Is there someone else that can successfully bedazzle a large portion of the US population and terrify a large percentage of elected officals?

I rather hope not. I hope the nightmare will end with the incumbent. Though I realize it will not be instant or easy. We will still have to fight. I simply think our enemy will not be as united behind a single man.

I'm not sure that counts as optimism, but it is all that I have now.
