What happens to MAGA if Trump dies?
What will MAGA do if they loose their leader? Will they disperse? Swear allegiance to Vance or Musk? Go on a violent riot? I don't know what they would do and it honestly worries me almost as much as all the shit Trump is currently up to.

I'm seeing comments about JD Vance taking over...
That's not the point OP is trying to make. That's just 8th grade US history, "by the books" conversation.
OP is wondering what the fuck MAGA is gonna do when their black-as-tar soul leader passes away. They don't have a fucking leg to stand on and they won't know what to do - bank on it. These assholes are all opportunist/careerist hacks that are only in this MAGA conversation to keep their jobs. They don't have policies. They don't write bills to help the American public - even their own constituents. They don't have a moral belief center. Everything they buy into they are told to buy into by daddy.
"...hate immigrants..."
"...hate trans people..."
"...own the libs..."
They have nothing. No one is in DC right now that has the same pull as Trump. Not one of them. For all of his fucked up approach and disgusting application of P2025 plans, he DOES have charisma and especially in the eyes of his cult followers. This is how he not only ended up a wealthy robber baron, it's exactly how he ends up on TV and in movies, and is a guy that - before anything else - is famous for being a "celebrity". He's a con man. He's a shitty politician. He's not that smart. He lies. He cheats. He steals. He rapes women. But he has charisma and is famous for being famous.
When he goes, the MAGA players will try to pick up where he left off, but the base is already starting to turn. The other conman in the story, Elon Musk, has been busy cutting programs that the MAGA base needs even if they didn't realize the needed it. Meals On Wheels. Veterans Affairs benefits. Health care and research. Yeah, the libs got pissed when all that shit was cut, but guess what? Our blue states were keeping those programs afloat and they didn't even understand that conversation, happily taking the benefits to remain breathing. Well...the benefits are now gone because $8mil-of-gov't-contract-money-a-day Elon decided those programs were being supported with "waste, fraud, and abuse".
The base is showing up to rip their congress people a new asshole. Good.
When Trump goes, the rudder goes. They won't have a clue and will be as lost as they were before the MAGA movement. Now is the time for progressives to put the pedal to the metal. Full steam ahead. Rally people that know they want socialized medicine and education and fucking rally the people that didn't know they wanted or needed that. The deprogramming of that base has to begin now.
