If dear leader was to kick the bucket, would his supporters rally behind Vance?
MAGA is a Cult of Personality, and won't survive Trump's death. The administration will try to hold it together, but it will very quickly devolve into ferocious backstabbing, leaks, allegations, accusations, etc. A lot of people are important to Trump who will be useless to Vance, like Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller, and they won't give up their power easily. It will take no longer than 48 hours for it to start to fall apart.
Dems would be wise to stoke the fire with questions like "Are you going to let him say that about you?"
The street level MAGAs will instantly start spreading conspiracy theories about who killed him. At first they'll blame liberals, but soon they'll turn on the new Vance administration, especially if Dems encourage it.
At the same time, every Sociopathic Oligarch will take advantage of the societal chaos, and use whatever mechanisms they have to make money.
If you think things are crazy now, just wait until Trump croaks.
Don Jr. will be apppointed next.
Don Jr is Frank Sinatra Jr - nobody cares.
I don't really think it's safe to say that. I think enough Trump supporters would gladly just shift to the next Trump name and not think twice about it
I doubt it very much. These morons love Trump, and Trump alone. I've seen no evidence that they see Jr, or anybody else, as a worthy substitute. Some will go there, but most won't. The Right will be splintered badly as various factions and ambitious candidates fight for control.
It will be entertaining for a while.
