Honestly, I think if he dies, most of his cult of personality dies with him. I bet many pull a Bush -> teabagger routine again and pretend they didn’t really like that washed-up game show host that much anyway, since he wasn’t a True Conservative ™. Remember, conservatism can never fail, it can only be failed by people improperly living up to True Conservatism ™.
So, no matter how many blatant failures of conservatism you can point to, the cons will always have an out, such as not doing it hard enough, or that they were foiled by those nasty Democrats, uppity POC, outspoken women, devious liberals, the Deep State, or whatever other bullshit you care to name.
They’ll still be cons, though, and they’ll seek the next hit of China White. They won’t settle for a Ronnie Raygun or a Bush, they’ll want to up the ante and have someone who “says what I’m thinking” - most especially if what is being verbalized are some of the darkest thoughts at the root of the Republican movement. So I’m thinking they will wait for an even bigger asshole than donnie and then pretend they never had all that donvict gear on their person, their car, their house…EXACTLY like they did for Dumbya.
