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)

I don't believe that comparison works because I don't believe Trump will be revered when he's done. I literally think they're going to move on to the next one.

Basically, I think MAGA/America First is bigger than Trump. He was the right person at the right time, but I think they'll be more than willing to move on without a second thought when it's time, and he's not going to become some MLK-esque figure at all. I think he lives in the moment and the moment alone, honestly. Trump gets credit for kicking it off, sure, but I think he pretty much gets forgotten as soon as the next "Chosen One" is chosen. I think Trump thinks this, too, which is why he's so terrified to lose.
