There is no one I see on the horizon at the moment that can keep the MAGA movement going after Trump unless it is JD Vance. But he can’t fall for the “reach across the aisle b.s.” and keep the MAGA movement going at the same time. We will see.

No other GOP representative that I can think of can do it. I had hopes for Chip Roy and a couple of others, but they all quickly got in line when the GOP leadership insisted they do so. Too many are afraid of both GOP elders and media criticism.

Or maybe they were pretending to be conservative in the first place. It’s not hard to do if you’re from a red state like Oklahoma or Kentucky. Just a few buzzwords and a lame attempt at introducing legislation that goes nowhere can get you into the MAGA circle.

For instance, Pence did it when he latched onto the Tea Party. He was actually at the 9/12 rally in 2009, standing at the top of the stairs at the FBI metro stop handing out Tea Party cards with his name on them. Our eyes locked for a second as he handed me his card and I mumbled “thank you.” I came away thinking “he’s the real deal, he’s one of us!” He even fooled me and I’ve been a political cynic for the last 20 yrs. 🫤
