It has a vector of a bulbous demographic growth that is the baby Boomer generation. Luckily they are deflating slowly, but every young person must do their utmost to vote.
Supervillain is giving him too much credit. I’ll grant you that he’s a cartoon character, but cartoon supervillains have more complexity than him.
Kanye and Musk embody a nearly identical archetype and we’d have the exact same problem if they ran for president and succeeded. The cult of personality that follows shitty celebrities is a self-perpetuating one. It’s rooted in nasty people admiring how important people can be nasty like them but without tangible social consequences. They form a mob around their cult heroes for that exact reason, strength in numbers. A safe space for the trash of humanity.
People in politics and business find Trump useful because he’ll open doors for them in exchange for attention. They get cozy with leading him around by the nose with that attention until they forget that he will backstab them when they stop giving him that attention or there is more value in betraying them. Musk does the exact same shit, so again, I don’t think that Trump himself is worthy of being viewed in the light you’re giving him. Similarly shitty celebrities are drop in replacements for him, and worse, they might be more intelligent in their cruelty.
Uhhhhh… No. He’s a anti-hero on his best day and a straight up terrorist realistically. Literally. He is a Terror-ist. And a hyper violent one at that. You may agree with his reasoning and even his methods, but both the character, and even the writer, don’t consider frank castle to even be a “good guy”.
At this point any Republican that has a shot would be a disaster. Just look at Project 2025. It doesn’t need to be Trump to completely regress to a dictatorship.
Many of whom seem straight up worse. Trump is awful, but at least he’s mostly incompetent at even achieving his own goals. The idea of having someone like Trump but competent is utterly horrifying. DeSantis, in particular.
He’s just a symptom.
The virus being a range of sociopathic beliefs and behaviour justified as “conservatism”.

Yes, but he’s also the disease personified and amplified into a real life supervillain. And the world doesn’t have a superhero to stop him.

Cromulent points all around.
I think instead of a superhero I would prefer the punisher
The punisher is a superhero.

Frank Castle isn’t the Punisher right now, it’s Joe Garrison and he worked for SHIELD prior to taking on the title.
Together we can stop him
He’s a full blown syndrome at this point.
Yup he doesn’t have to win, as long as one of his lackeys do.

Yup, that’s basically what I meant. Virtually the entire party is complicit in this.
