A charismatic candidate figured out how to hijack the Republican party more like. Who is the other charismatic candidate up their sleeve?

Ron DeSantis comes to mind

I wouldn't say charismatic, but he's solid. I think people mistake charismatic for blunt. Trump is more blunt than he is charismatic. That makes him appear like less of an NPC compared to other politicians, and people actually like that.

it remains to be seen whether they can find the next trump hes unique

JD Vance is extremely likeable, and much less polarizing than Trump. The "weird" attack on him died the moment people heard him speak.

I wouldn't call him "much less" polarizing than Trump, he still is more unfavored than favored: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/jd-v...

Is that just due to his association with Trump?

I would. Unfavored is single-axis. He is more moderate and more likeable, which does not show up on your graph.

Trump literally said "you won't have to vote again".

And if the Project 2025 plan works as they planned it, that's the truth. America will become a single party state and that won't change without a civil war.

They will stack the courts and every appointable position with pro-Trump (not Republican) people who will make sure every election goes their way in the future.

Oh people already say civil war? lol.

Nah, nobody is saying it, and it's not happening because the party with all the gun-nuts and survivalists won.

I personally can't see any other way out unless Team Donald messes up badly enough to make their own people shun them.

People won't have to vote for him again because he can't be voted for again due to the two-term-limit.

!RemindMe in four years

If that's possible, first of all why/how, and second, why would the Democrats not do this?

Charismatic or populist? Same thing in effect, but the latter has a bit more weight / context to politics.

Also if they're having their way, they will break the current system; Trump has said people would never need to vote again if he wins, and Project 2025 aims to give much more power to the president (autocracy): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

Given what democrats stand for, you don't even have to be charismatic to push them into a corner. Any candidate who will shout anti trans anti illegal immigrantion talking points will always carry the day
