    If he died of natural causes, what makes you think that’s how the White House would report it. They’d say he was killed and use it to create a false divisive narrative, blaming some left wing conspiracy or assassin who doesn’t exist. They’d use it to galvanise maga behind Vance blah blah blah…

      Even if they don’t explicitly say it (which they will), the MAGA hordes will concoct their own conspiracy theories and believe them. After all, they are all QAnon alumni.

      But without Trump himself directing it, they won’t be able to focus that rage, it will quickly divest into the thousand little in-groups of conspiracies, backwoods nutcases screaming into the void, random nuts in trucks driving into drugstores and shooting up pizza places.

      It will be chaotic sure, but it will have no cohesion. Half the people around Trump are just there to pick up his crumbs of power, the other half are delusional enough to think they have the unique charm to take his place.

      When Trump dies, there won’t be leadership in the republican party. They’re making an effort with Vance by parading him around more and more, but the right doesn’t like him. He talks too much, he sounds like a politician.

      Honestly, the only person who could have possibly taken pole position and started rallying the right under his own brand of conservative charisma was Charlie Kirk. No wonder the right is so bent out of shape about it.

        Curious how many will assume Vance poisoned him to become president or something like that.

          It would be pretty easy to start pre-seeding this idea with memes and the like.
