nostr:npub1ahqj3ek7s7lrt4ygsthymx0j0vqunam8vc6ejhn9qn7037prm0pq83wjwd I disagree. Trumpism has grown beyond Trump but it’s just everyone’s worst instincts. It’s not an ideology.
No one is going to replace him. He was a unique combo of complex insecurities and empty bravado. Unless they nominate some other wacko celebrity. Even the crazy politicians have no game when it comes to showmanship. They’re all lame.
I think fascism will be a threat long after him but that’s different.

Agree on the fascism part. Don’t necessarily agree on the uniqueness part. There have been others throughout history. He’s using their playbook. Only a few quite as successful though. That’s the only unique piece IMHO.
