    Once trump kicks the bucket there will be a powerstruggle about which rich douchebag gets to run the show. If political parties abroad are any indication is that the shit show this will turn into will be of epic proportions.

    In the Netherlands we have seen 2 flavors of strongman parties. Those that are setup by authoritarian model (eg. 1 person with absolute power and no democracy in the party) or a party that regularly fractures of groups of “dissidents” who then either survive while the old one withers away or they fade away themselves. Currently our biggest party is one by authoritarian model… it’s interesting to see.

      It’s difficult for me to imagine things becoming an even more epic shitshow. But I’m secretly an optimist. albeit a very grumpy one.
