      Well cheetoh-brain is clearly too old for his position and in failing health. It’s only a matter of time, and not much of that. There’s every chance he won’t live out his term

      It’s the family and hangers-on that are the problem. They’ve already looted billions from the country so are now part of the excessively wealthy. When they no longer have a presidential pardon to lean on, they are at risk of justice. It could happen

      Right now my biggest fear is one of them turning that money into a political dynasty

      I think the issue is that some people assume that when Trump dies everything will go back to normal. But IMO he’s a symptom of the problem, not exactly the cause. Even without Trump there’s still Musk, Thiel, The Turning Point People, Proud Boys, The Heritage Foundation and all manner of others devoting a lot of time and money to undermining the country. Not to mention just the Republicans in general and the spineless/complicit Democrats.

      TBH I think the whole system needs to be flushed, if there’s even a way to do that without making things much worse for everyday people.
