It must surely be imminent. He's not in the best health if the reports about him eating mcdonalds all the time are true. He's 79 which isn't that old but I dont see many fat, stressed 90 year olds on a mcdonalds diet.

Say he had a heart attack next week.. then what? Presumably Vance would take over as actual president, but I can't imagine anyone being as bad as him. Would the maga movement continue with a different cult leader? Do you think things would meaningfully change?

    A handful maybe.
    Most grew organically from collections of myths, stories, and traditions.

    Greek, Nordic, Egyptian, Hindi, Jewish, Wicca, Vodou, Zoroastrian, even Christian, each started as loose regional folktales. They took shape and coalesced over generations.
