    Handlers keeping him hidden like they did Biden. Dead or alive were still fucked, he’s just a cog in the machine that will be replaced to keep the status quo protected and running

      Sure then the cult will quietly assemble under that master smooth charismatic leader Steven Miller.

        Unlike master smooth charismatic leader Donald Trump?

        All he needs to do is slur some slurs and his base will eat it up. There’s nothing fancy behind them, just a lack of humanity.

          Yeah it’s a cult of personality. DeSantis wanted it but they said No.

          Lindsey Graham thought he could weasel his way in, they laughed him out. Perjury Traitor Greed has all the credentials but, let’s be honest, she identifies as a woman, and they’re not electing that. Plus she’s plain old insane. He’s demented. It’s a fine but distinct line.

              Stephen Miller can never fill Trump’s shoes. Trump at least has charisma - he can charm and flatter people and keep a smile on his face. Miller is just hatred manifest, not to mention he exudes insecurity and he looks like a cartoon villain. Zero redeeming qualities. He has to stay in the background so people don’t see the ugly face of their agenda.

              I mean - no. I know, i know, but seriously. They don’t even like Steve Bourbon, and he’s tried to be in the media as much as possible. Plus Miller is. Y’know.

              Let’s just say close but no cigar.

            Yeah but if trump croaks, there will be a power vacuum, and these are the kinds of people who need someone to worship.

              With any luck they’ll display all of the hatred and animosity that made them famous toward each other.

              Y’know like the left does.

              Hi-oooooooo!

          I don’t get it but for whatever reason he has an enthusiastic following specific to him.

          There are a number of races where people tried to ride his popularity, but unless Trump is directly in the race, it doesn’t seem to matter so much.

            He’s the embodiment of their idea of the American dream. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, accruing unlimited wealth and living a life with no accountability. They want to be him.

            They don’t want a world with no kings. They want to be king.

        He’s too close to the mothership. Vance will be president and ol Steve will continue avoiding UV light, where possible.

        I can already see Steve Miller having a makeover and charming the public with a nifty military uniform, nice arm band, a cool toothbrush moustache and a brand new ”undercut” style toupee

        Sieg Heil, America - really speedrunning that ”fascist dictatorship” playthrough huh?

          That’s more likely than him uniting the Evangelicals and the legacy republicans and the gravy seals.

      I was scrolling to find someone else thinking this. Its just a big show and they need peoples attention all the time. Last thing they want is to be ignored. So they say incredible stupid things all the time, daily.

      Exactly and it is so sad seeing people acting as if traditional political discourse is going to make things better. It’s broken completely.
