It depends if Trump wins in 2024 or not. If he loses in 2024 it'll be interesting to see how people react to him going back to the "it was rigged, I'll fight it, I'll be back in 2028" well again. If he wins, who knows...
Going into the 2022 midterms I said if Hershel Walker and Dr Oz and Kari Lake beat their more regular ol' politician opponents it might be possible a new era of mainstream "AS SEEN ON TV" politics emerges, or is doubled-down upon given the Regan/Trump narrative of the GOP. It didn't happen, but the idea itself clearly isn't dead.
