Tons of sociopaths are watching Trump and taking notes. With series reforms to both our society and political system, this will just happen again and with Peter Thiel practically owning JD Vance, it could be sooner than you think.
Trump is a one in a million manipulator. There's a reason this hasn't happened since Hitler and Mussolini. Various others like Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, etc. have all tried to use the same playbook and failed completely. If you think MAGA is going to fall in line behind couchfucker JD Vance, you're deluded. A big reason that Trump picked him as VP is that he knew Vance was no threat to him.
Trump picked Vance because he thought Vance was physically good looking enough to be his VP. No joke.
But not charismatic enough to challenge him. That's key.
That's a wild statement to make considering that Putin is a household name these days.
Putin is hardly a charismatic leader. Might as well throw in Maduro or Noriega, or Saddam Hussein if you're going to talk about leaders who ruled through fear and force rather than charisma.
Putin has been more often than not genuinely popular with Russians; he was very successful at creating a persona that worked in his culture to secure and maintain power.
And while Maduro wasn't charismatic, Chavez certainly was
You don't talk about Hitler "more often than not" being popular with Germans. Hitler famously had huge rallies filling stadiums.
