Trump and his thugs and henchmen appear right now to be unstoppable. But I've been alive long enough to know that whatever goes up must come down.

So if—and I do mean IF—we and the country survive the next four-or-however-many-years until old man Trump exits stage left, we're likely to be left with one of our two major political parties that is essentially a cult without a leader. There are plenty of MAGA phonies out there who will fight tooth and nail to try to take over the throne, but none of them inspire the kind of loyalty that Trump does. It's hard to see how such a party will ever recover.
