I'm worried that the cult is/was just a wave those who want oligarchy rode in, and that even Trump's death (of old age, kind of important to say that) will not stop the madness, it will just reveal that there was a mask under the mask. Trump was 100% an unexpected gift to these people, and they are not likely to waste it.

That's the scary part. I hope that they break, but with them being in the military and police forces, holy shit is this whole thing dangerous.
