> Trump will not.

People said that the last time he was elected. Be wary of treating him as an aberration. He’s not magic, he’s exactly what people voted for. What makes you think they won’t vote for the same again with a new face?

He is unusual in that he's boosted by decades of pop culture fame. Other MAGA candidates haven't been able to recreate the same level of success. You're right that there's a lot of stupidity that won't magically go away when he does, but the environment for an adult (of either party) to win won't be so hard.
