The Trump cult will dissipate after he’s gone. But the conservative virus will absolutely still be there. They will leech on to the next Republican scum that rises through the ranks. And now that Trump has opened Pandora’s box, all the scum in that party will rise to the occasion. Trump has proven that the presidency can be a massive cash cow now. People with lots and lots of money and no morals will use that wealth to run another disgusting propaganda campaign, it’ll fool stupid Americans, and we’ll have Trump copycats in the Oval Office again.
Conservatives cannot do anything but vote Republican. It is in their programming.
I won’t say Trump is the worst case scenario, however. You have to be just the right amount of fucking stupid to fuck things up as much as he has.
Any smarter, and on the first day of his first term he would have just summoned the CIA and told them about the blackmail that Putin has. Any smarter, and he’d be able to see how alienating our allies hurts him, even if he is fully self-serving.
Any dumber and he’d be drooling on himself, which makes it hard to get elected. He has to be at least as smart as a monkey so that he can pavlov up the right phrases that make the audience clap.

It is often necessary to deal with the obvious symptoms before you can start treating the cause.
