What? My entire argument is that it's going to happen again. And again. And again. Because it's not just about Trump. If Trump is such a unique, charismatic individual, then it'd be more likely the movement would die with him. I don't think that at all. I think it continues with or without him, which is my entire point in thinking he's not as special as people seem to think he is.

Under this logic, any leader of a movement whose movement continues after they die/leave was replaceable. That's not how it works. Some people are so charismatic, so influential, that the mark they made continues after they're gone. Would you say that Martin Luther King Jr wasn't charismatic because the Civil Rights Movement continued after he died?

(If that comparison offends you, well, a lot of the right basically sees Trump as a civil rights leader of sorts)
