    Trump is essential for the fascists right now because he’s worshiped by idiots. But he doesn’t have an heir who is similarly loved by his fans, and his ego won’t allow him to pass the torch.

    Right now the fascism is being propped up by a personality cult. Without that figurehead the movement may collapse.
