    Maybe, but if he inherits a full on police state, he might not need charisma or followers any more.

      Maybe, but I don’t think it will last. I think Trump has a better chance at getting a third term than JD has at getting a first term.

      Doesn’t work. Even a police state needs a base of support in the populace or it doesn’t last long. The constant pressure of enforced conformity is too much for the system to endure.

      Also, under fascism, the second string guys are chosen for loyalty first and competence second. If the central guy dies, they fight amongst themselves and nobody wins.

        Yeah… I’m reading this thread, and not thinking about his lack of charisma, but places like Pakistan where military coups follow.
