I suggest you just take a look at his own words. I agree with him but if you want to discuss I’m happy to do so.

Genuinely, what the fuck are you talking about?

So the goalkeepers from three of the bottom five teams get a call up but the keeper from the team with the third meanest defence gets dropped? -
Thiel didn't donate to Trump this time around AFAIA. And even if he did $1m wouldn't be nearly enough to secure a VP pick.

If Vance is the planned successor then they’re fucked. People liked Trump and Farage because they’re ‘genuine’. Vance is awkward and polished looking. Look at Bernie Sanders and AOC, the left like them because they’re genuine but unfortunately too genuine for the mainstream.

There’s nothing much more that any of us can do. A massive part of the problem imo is social media. Previously people with right wing tendencies would maybe sit at home for an hour watching Fox and getting angry. Now there’s Twitter where they can get angry when they wake up, get angry on their lunch breaking and get angry while taking a shit. It’s just constant. And people with slightly to the right views get pulled further and further down the rabbit hole until we end up with people like Trump and decisions like Brexit. People want to believe that these things will change their life for the better because they come at someone else’s expense but of course it improves nothing. And to answer your question as to why there isn’t a left wing Andrew Tate, it’s because hate and division is a lot easier to sow than empathy and selflessness.

It does have to go somewhere but it depends where it goes and if everyone lines up behind one successor. Look at the UK and Brexit. It got Johnson a big majority but after he went it effectively split between Reform and the Tories leading to the rise of Labour. I think it's a far from a foregone conclusion that Trumpism is a long term vote winner.
