Good article. The Old Right needs to grit their teeth and pass the torch to a younger, more radical (but more focused) Trump. If they refuse, the republic dies forever.
The issue is age. The fact is most of Trump's base is old and he appointed JD as the successor but JD is young. Yes I know the irony of calling JD young isn't lost on me as a zoomer but for a politician he is insanely young. IDK if the boomer Trump base will be down for him.
Trump's base is a total hodgepodge, but yes, we need the Boomers/Gen X to not reject the next Republican. I think an ideal situation is someone like Vance (perhaps older) that conducts himself like a respectable politician yet fills his cabinet with younger radicals. Trump's biggest weakness is he likes people to be loyal to him—too mant sycophants, not enough partisans.
Exactly Trump's biggest weakness was lets be honest he was not super ideological and he empowered a bunch of bad actors who were willing to be loyal to him like Vivek and Lindsay
The thing is though a lot of Trumpism is propped up by Trump himself and his let's be honest cult of personality there are a ton of normie voters who have no ideological allegiance to maga they just think trump doing that dance to YMCA is funny
I do not think they will go for Vance a quiet technocrat.
