To be fair it's not just him, it's his cult followers too. I still see plenty of "2020 Was Stolen" or similarly worded Trump flags and signs around, some people have had them hanging for nearly four years. They simply refuse to believe that they are only a minority percentage of the electorate. They are convinced that they make up the "silent majority" of "Real Americans" and therefore a Trump defeat simply cannot happen unless the wicked Democrats steal the election, as surely happened in 2020 even though they couldn't prove it and there's not a shred of evidence to prove it. And if Dear Leader loses in November they'll be in the same state of denial even if he loses by a larger margin, as is definitely possible.

It's effective. I see that same fear of the silent MAGA permeate some folks here at times

Maybe. And if you can get the Republican nomination, you have 45% of the electorate locked up.

That said, a whole lot of people thought they would be the next Trump 2.0, and so far, no one else has been able to claim the mantle.

If Trump wins, then JD Vance is in the pole position. If Trump loses, it’s hard to imagine the Pubs will want to go down the businessman route again.

Not to mention he’d need a constitutional amendment in order to run.

Good point, I somehow always forget he's not US born. But I think Elon sees himself more as Trump's successor in the kingmaker realm... not so much as being the king himself. With Twitter as his platform, he thinks he can take Trump's place as the person who makes or breaks Republican candidates... that they will all have to come kiss his ring after Trump is gone.

I still think hes scared of crimes hes committed and only Trump can save him. Wait till he starts saying he'll be jailed if Harris wins, its coming.

You could quite literally say the same thing about Taylor Swift.

ETA- All endorsements are news, especially in a 24 hour news cycle.

No offense to Caroline Rose Guiliani, but Taylor Swift's endorsement might actually convince folks to go register and to vote that otherwise might not and to do so for Harris. It's actually a news-worthy event because she does actually influence folks using her fame.
