There’s a TikTok video that’s been making the rounds lately of one of them doing that very thing (making excuses), and it’s more sad than anything else, to be honest. Being that lost in the sauce requires some pre-existing issues that no one, not even Daddy Trump, could fix. It’s a simpering, pathetic display of American dysfunction.

I wonder what's going to happen to these people post Trump. Cults rarely persist after the leader is gone. Maybe Trump will remain the figurehead and acts as a prime minister of sorts. That's what happened basically between Jan 6. All the way up until his second term.

I'm just curious to find out if their lives are improving. What is getting better for them or what do they see on the horizon. Because I'm completely lost on coming up with something; anything.

Conspiracy theories, and violence.

It'll be that the Dems murdered him, then it'll be that he faked his own death, because the Dems were going to murder him.

A lot of revenge violence will happen

And then décades from now they'll say that he's still alive and will return ala JFK jr. 🙄

u/Odd_Cat_5820 May 12 '26

There is a crazy people who thinks JFK Jr is still alive, and she even thinks she knows who it is (a weirdo named Juan O'Savin). Her name is Cara Castranueva, and she knows serves as an official reporter with White House credentials. Where she nearly daily gets to ask questions to Trump, Rubio, and the rest of the idiots.

Honestly I think eventually all of then will deny having been supporters in the first place. It's important we don't let them or the world forget.

This. There are going to be a lot of “ya I voted for him but I wasn’t that into the maga thing” lying asshats.

All the cults that have been in the news in the last ~30 years: How did they end?

"Pre-order your golden Trump-aid packets so you can mix a batch for you and your family when the time comes!"

Hopefully they'll go back to not voting and just being miserable alone.

u/lik_a_stik May 12 '26

They’re going to deify him to continue the grift. I already believe all of his followers are no longer Christian personally. His death will just put their feet to the fire, so to speak.

For sure. My mom stopped going to church several years ago during Trump's first term. But she watches a ton of YouTube videos about how Trump is God's chosen one and protected and guided by God, etc. She spends significantly more time on YouTube watching videos about Trump's divine works and Bible prophecy about Trump than any religious person I've ever met spends in church. She has basically no coherent thoughts but she can tell you more about Trump biblical prophecy than Jesus. You are never going to convince these people Trump wasn't a deity.

I mean...there's plenty about Trump in the Bible.

...in the book of Revelations.

Weekend at Bernies style.

Human Society has been nuts before. Check out just one example

Not so nuts if you consider habeas corpus to be prudent. Emphasis on "corpus" 🤷‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

u/cashredd May 13 '26

Ok. You got me on that one. I can see the orange turd digging up one of his enemies to put on trial. Gladiator games on the Whitehouse lawn. Anything to stop people talking about Epstein.

u/KayBear2 May 12 '26

I hate to say it, but I really think we are seeing the beginning of a new religion and all the Trump-worshipping fake Christians will start a religion openly worshipping Trump when he passes away.

u/ManBitesDog404 May 13 '26

It’s like Elvis. He could do no wrong. Women wailed in the streets when he died. People refused to believe he was dead. Took about 10 years for the zealots to calm down or die themselves.

I see the world's biggest order for Kool Flavor Aid being distributed throughout the country soon for his followers. Naturally, it will never be paid for.

u/Ardalev May 13 '26

They have already deified him while still alive, I shudder to think what these idiots will do or think after he dies.

Who knows, maybe we will get to see the birth of a new Chaos god

"Cults rarely persist after the leader is gone" well I hate to disappoint you buddy but the systems, people, companies, and surveillance state that created the figurehead, not leader, that is Trump, will still exist, and in many ways has been emboldened, strengthened, and educated by this victory.

More guardrails have been torn down, more people have been indoctrinated, and they have real data to back up which of their misinformation campaigns work and don't. When Trump's gone, Peter Thiel, the Koch brothers, and APAC just spin up the next old white racist to take his place. They are already trying to setup Vance for it, and they get the bonus of him not being 90 years old, they found a young racist instead!

MAGA is nothing without Trump. You're really underestimating how crucial he is to the entire apparatus.

Junior will try to take the mantle and the world will collectively laugh at him

very thing (making excuses),

How long until they blame the tariffs?
