Is this important journalism? No way. Is it funny as shit? I think so.

Trump has started a cargo cult.

They're all trying to replace him now, using stupid things that they think worked for Trump. Making themselves look taller while leaning forward at an unnatural angle, saying horrendous shit, being generally despicable and having no filter required for the top job.

Trump got popular because people knew him. He was a celebrity. TV shows and shit. People are dumb as fuck and vote for people they've heard of. You could put Dolly Parton up there right now and get 60% of the popular vote.

Dolly Parton is a decent human being so there's no chance she'd make it that far in politics.

Dolly is a gigantic supporter of libraries and books in general. She couldn’t get 60% of the vote because Republicans hate her.

Everyone likes Dolly. There's no religious or political indoctrination strong enough to break that.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about that. Years ago, FOX News called Mr. Rogers an evil man for telling kids that they are special. And that was before the right got as rabid as it is today. If Dolly became a political candidate, I don't doubt that the right would find something to hate her for. (Likely the fact that she gets kids to read. How horrible!!!)
