      Trump is the face. The oligarchs are the movement. What we are dealing with is a long festering tumor that has metastasized. Trump is the irregular shaped mole on the surface. The cancer has been there since the civil war.

      Another will replace him. Not vance either, not for long. If you I think everything goes back to normal after this President is out you are quite mistaken.

      I agree that the success of Trumpism has been due to his personality cult and nothing else. But they are basing their power more and more on open violence, terror and propaganda. It is very well possible that they manage to consolidate this rule of fear before Trump becomes unfeasible.
