    The good news is that cults of personality tend to fail if their personality becomes a disgraced loser.

        Con them into doing a Truman-like reality tv show (that they don’t know about;) and then gaslight the ever living fuck out of them?

        Edit: I know. Tell him he’s doing a TV show called “Best Wing” (or whatever,) and tell him it’s like West Wing, but it highlights the glory of his presidency. Throw in some cheap flattery, bury in his contract the relevant permissions and that he can quit any time by exiting the full the Trump Stage (through a door at the top of a few flights of stairs)

        Set up the Best Wing studio to be like a big brother set, complete with hidden halls so they can pop out and move stuff and generally fuck with the guy.

      Exactly. There’s a very clear correlation between when Trump’s support started to fade and when Harris metaphorically pants him at the debate by daring to laugh at him when he talked about Haitians and made him look like an utter jackass.

      Trumps followers are bullies, and they follow a lead bully. When that lead bully gets a taste of his own medicine, their supporters grow unsure of their allegiance.

      It’s all highschool bullshit with Trump and MAGA.
