There's nobody "on the bench" behind Trump. There should be a clear frontrunner for future Presidential elections. Either Trump wins in 2024 and he's ineligible in 2028, or Trump loses in 2024 and then he's too old to try again in 2028 (and nobody should support him after 2 failed runs).

This is by design by the left. Why do you think they're so aggressive nowadays about deplatforming people? Whenever a celebrity shows the ability to think for themselves, they're fired, cancelled, and their career is over nobody will hire them again.

By following a policy of aggressive deplatforming, that prevents the right from having any future leaders. Trump was popular before aggressive deplatforming was a thing. It's literally impossible today for someone else "not approved" to get an audience as large as Trump. They would be deplatformed/fired/cancelled before they get enough of an audience to matter.

For example, suppose you're a prolific and popular right-wing poster on YouTube. You might have 1000+ hours of video uploaded. If in those 1000 hours, there's 5 minutes where you say something offensive, that's the justification for deplatforming you and kicking you off the Internet. You can make your own website or go to big tech alternatives, but you'll lose most of your normies. And "what's offensive" is always retroactively applied. If you say something that was fine at the time, but is offensive according to the standards 10 years from now, that's justification for deplatforming you.

One example of this was Stefan Molyneux. He was really popular on YouTube, but he said some "non approved" things in a few of his many videos. He was kicked off YouTube/Twitter/FaceBook/etc. He went to his own website, but he claims he lost 95%+ of his audience. When he was still on YouTube, he was popular enough to earn a decent living. Now he earns 5%-10% of what he earned before. He can't even get a regular job anymore because his reputation is too toxic.

What you're going to see is people who look and sound like Trump, but then when the chips are down and they get elected, they cuck out and accomplish nothing.

Even if Trump does somehow win in 2024, he'll still have the Deep State fighting him at every turn and then we're in 2028 back to the same problem. If a Democrat President gets elected in 2028, it'll be open borders again and any progress Trump made on illegal immigration is erased.

One theory I'm hopeful of is that there are some influential people, not just Trump, who realize the country is in trouble and are trying to correct course. Some people in this category might be Elon Musk and Bill Ackman. But there are just too many bigger forces on the side of destruction - Soros, Rothschild, Schwab, Larry Fink, and others. Musk's personal wealth is just a drop in the bucket compared to the resources those guys control.

Right now, it just seems like all the forces are organized favoring destruction. I don't see a way out. If the course somehow is corrected, that's going to take at least a few decades, and by then I'll be too old for it to matter to me. In the meantime, all those college students cheering Hamas are going to be future leaders - politicians, CEOs, bureaucrats, journalists. If only current Harvard students got to vote, the US policy probably would be to declare war on Israel in support of Hamas, fully open borders let Muslim invaders conquer the country by demographic replacement.
