31. He is a phenomenon

I can't disagree with that for sure.

And, "MAGA" is likely to fade away, like the "tea party."

But it will reform, like the tea party did into MAGA.

They already are trying rebrands like America First.

And, their touchstone is hatred of the evil liberal boogyman.

So, while it may not be the cult like thing that DT has created, they will rally around the bullshit veneer that is created for the next one - like W being a guy you would want to have a beer with.

I am old enough to see how this country has moved toward this point slowly over time, and this turbo boost has taken us even further down the rat hole, because they have not only blown up most of the norms and unstated "rules" that the likes of Karl Rove played fast an loose with, they have full on normalized wide open corruption, grift, congress, the Supreme Court and POTUS just flat out not following the law, etc. Not to mention the brainwashing that the the zombie base gets that used to isolated to AM radio and then Faux News is now being injected like a syringe into their bloodstream like heroin by their phones.
