Thanks, I hadn’t thought of Franco. So of course now I’m trying to imagine a similar scenario playing out here over the next few years. Who in the current MAGA-mob would have the guts to do what’s right, after becoming the heir to DJT?

Harris winning, preferably in a landslide, plus Democrat control of Congress, would make things a bit easier. Even though it will still be quite a challenge to get to a kind of MAGA-weak/free 'normal'. Otherwise we can expect the same circus coming to town in 2028.

To your question.... I can´t think of any real gutsy MAGA people.... I guess the best thing that could happen is that crucial players (Trump, Bannon, Stephen Miller, etc.) would be out of the equation. It would also require complicit billionaires (Musk, Thiel, etc) and certain (Social) Media to lose their power (and money). And maybe JD Vance and Don jr. would accept being exiled to some other place (with some money) and leave things to a new (non-MAGA) leader....

Forgot all about the post Franco evolution of Spain. Thanks for the reminder.
