trump-moist got elected in the first place, in large part, because of the gimmick, the novelty, the brand recognition. Sure, the bigotry and the crude barbarism appeal for chuds was there too, but that's what I'm worried about.

My concern is that description, including basically all of the above, has a lot of overlap with a lot of famous-for-being famous "influencer" grifters.

I can't help wondering if the red team vs blue team of the electoral future of Burgerland will be some shrieking game streamer chud (R) heated-gamer-moment versus some cold-eyed rictus smiling "philanthropy" grifter (D) mr-beast

I ask if there's something I'm not thinking of that might push back against what looks like an inevitability, short of Giant Meteor 2024 or sufficient Cool Zone events.
