    Trump is only successful because he holds a coalition of wacko together with his personality cult. Vance does not have that cult following. He would not be able to hold the coalition together. One of Trumps kids might be able to, but they’ve all been pushed aside by Musk. Musk can’t take the reigns because he is an immigrant. If Trump goes. the whole thing quickly falls apart.

      Thank you for this comment! 100% agree! (He is a multi unsuccessful businessman). This is a straight up cult mentality and GOP voters won’t know until it affects them! (Which it is but wayyy too late). They already chose ‘Good vs Evil’ and sadly we all have to suffer! I honestly hope ever Drumpf supporter feels the wrathX100! I honestly will not even bat a damn eye at them! Savage!

      I had a Drumpf supporter living by my house (Drumpf signs, stickers, etc.), and just in the last month lost his job and put up his house for sale!!!😂 SORRY NOT SORRY! They CHOSE that and NO ONE is to blame but them for their votes! So, I honestly have 0% of sympathy for them! 🖕🏼

      But I love that comment because Venereal Disease Vance does not have the same following! Thank god!!!

      Also even if Musk is able to find another puppet it’ll be notable smaller than Trump’s. Musk cultists generally align with STEM weirdos no offense to folks in STEM but I’m sure you folks are familiar with the types I’m talking about.

        You mean the business majors who think they’re an engineer because they spent a year majoring in engineering? Jk yeah I know these morons, they’re all throughout stem and if they see any value in the humanities it’s them being really into philosophy but like in the same way some salespeople are really into tech, ie lacking comprehension or context.

          Also why is it always some fucked up bastardization of Stoicism? Why can’t it be Cynicism or fucking Bellicose philosophy it’s always fucking bastardized Stoicism.

            Probably because they think of it as manly logical philosophy. I always liked stoicism because it helps with my panic attacks and it’s always weird hearing these guys talk about it. But also bad stoicism doesn’t challenge them, it doesn’t ask them to reconsider their actions, or to reevaluate anything. It merely says to be tough.

            And in that vein it isn’t just bad stoicism. Some of them get into neitzche or get really into egoism and do that about as well as their goddess Ayn Rand.

            They just want to hear that they’re smart and special and should be in charge.

              Also whatever the absolute fuck is going on with “Rationalism” which much like objectivism is quite the opposite of what it’s called. Seriously I feel like these STEM weirdos need to be forced to camp by themselves for a month or so, just factory reset them.

                Be careful what you wish for. I thought lsd would fix them but no, instead of becoming one with humanity and the earth they made it weird and tried to act like it was the secret to getting vc money.

                So yeah they might just get into month long camping alone and start influencing on it and gentrifying fucking off into the woods.

                And yeah rationalism and objectivism are so yikes it hurts. And their understanding of Stirner is lackluster at best. These are the sort of people who would read proudhon and only take away the bigotry or decide that since all property is theft they should just start stealing
