And for everything that Democrats built, their grassroots and their young Democrats and their It has not made them a dominant force in American politics in a very long time. I mean, since Obama, I don't think Democrats have had a ton of persuasive power. I think he's right about identifying the nature of the MAGA movement, but that is powerful in itself. I would also say...

Whatever's going to replace Trumpism, the Republicans have not built yet. The Republicans haven't created that. And because, like I said, they've jettisoned the conservatism, the principles, there's nothing mooring. MAGA to anything static. It's only more to what Trump just said. The last Trump impulse is what is currently defining the MAGA movement. Well, that's by design.

Trump not defining his principles, the Trump... You know, the Trump order, the Trump version of foreign policy, not defining that is intentional. And it's actually, you know, people who study mass movements will say that that's a really important thing to do.

If you want a movement to grow and continue, you can't define it because once it's accomplished those minimal goals, it ceases to be important. So you have to leave it sort of ambiguous. And Trump believes it ambiguous because he doesn't know, and he doesn't know what he wants it to be or what he stands for other than these transactional kinds of ideas.

So MAGA is moored only to Trump, which means when Trump goes either โ you know, he's not in office anymore or he dies, it's really not more to anything. And it's not more to Don Jr. It's not more to J.D. Vance or whoever the successor is. It's really just attached to him and defined by him.

So that could leave room for a lot of things to come and fill that void, some really ugly, gross things, but also maybe conservatism again, who knows? But it's not going to be It's not, it cannot carry on. Trumpism can carry on in voters, but it can't carry on as a defined movement, I don't think, without Trump.

And I don't see anything past Trump for MAGA other than just the kind of chaos and running around and how do we try to emulate it, but no one's going to be able to do that very well. And so I think you're going to have all these fractious groups of like the white nationalists over here, the America first people over here. And I just think it's going to be kind of a mess.
