You need to show your political power is greater than his political power for the institutions to listen.
Every political figure has their own unique mana bar, their own special following of varying degrees of power, but Trump’s mana bar is different.
Trump’s base is not remotely the American majority, but they are the most mana-dense group out there. They are pure, raw, power to exert political will. Not as individuals, they’re stupider than soggy drywall as individuals. As a group, they have all the cards because they are:
United no matter who is part of the group. No entry requirements other than loyalty.
Guaranteed loyal. Trump can tell them to jump, they jump. Trump eats a baby on TV, they will wear “Eat the baby” T-shirts the next day. Trump says “storm the capitol” to prove to Congress and Senate that he has them on a leash and they even do that.
Patriotic, they carry the flag. The left is largely anti-jingoism, but in the world-stage, flags have power. Patriotism is team-power. When we abandoned the flag we gave up a large swath of power.
Armed and are violent. Again, you see this as anti-social and harmful, and on a community level it often is, but in the political landscape where there is no actual such thing as “law” having an armed group of loyalists is how nations have been built and preserved for literally thousands of years.
The longer Trump’s cabinet and administration can hold onto this group, the more they can do to pilfer the reserves and get their backers and sponsors filled with sweet, sweet sacks of cash in the form of deregulation and tax breaks.
The thing is, like with so many cases like this in history, it’s entirely constructed on the shaky foundation of one person’s “charm” and ability to hold onto their attention spans or lack thereof.
As soon as Trump keels over, which could literally be at any moment, this political mana will start to disperse. This is why you’re starting to see a lot more Vance on programs, a lot more Bannon and Miller, a lot more of the generals and enablers each trying to secure some fleeting drop of that mana. I do not think people like Vance are going to be able to control even a fraction of the power that Trump commanded, but it could be a long, long time before any of them face any consequence if they do at all.
Congratulations, you now understand “political capital” in the nerdiest way I can explain it.
We award you no points. No where in your rant did you even mention Steve Bannon. Like so many others that suffer from “Trump derangement syndrome.” You veered off topic to relate everything to Trump. And now im talking about him again dang it. I dont like it either.
