    All true, but we are very near a point with USA where Vance doesn’t need a cult following, he can rule as a dictator supported by oligarchs. He already has the military and intelligence services and the supreme court. The rest will follow, as resistance is weeded out by those powers.

      That is the goal of Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation.

      The goal isn’t so much who leads it, as long as it’s the wealthy white Christian Nationalists.

          Trump, like the other billionaires involved in HF, definitely had a part in crafting it.

          Probably less of a “this is how we do it” and more of a “who do I have to grift to get what I want?”

      I agree. Hopefully without popular support we could get his grip to crumble from within if enough people despise him both internally and externally.
