I think the Amerikan Imperial Succession is now set

2001-2009 Emperor Bush the Stupider
2009-2017 Emperor Jeb
2017-2025 Emperor Ahnold (the most likely to fill the slot of Emperor I'm-a-Bushevik-but-my-name-ain't-Bush-so-stop-saying-we-are-a-hereditray-Empire)
2025-2032 Emperor George P. Caligula

Now of course, nothing is set 100%, but this is looking as good as the Saddam plebiscite or the 1936 Hitler plebiscite as a no-brainer slam dunk it is going to happen.

Of course, there are other candidates for Emperor I'm-a-Bushevik-but-my-name-ain't-Bush-so-stop-saying-we-are-a-hereditary-Empire, but Ahnold, like Raygun before him, gives them the most naive person, the easiest to go around and ignore, PLUS the celebrity-worship-factor and the way to distance themselves from the regime while still maintaining total control.

Whattadya think? What's you version of the Imperial Succession (if we fail in restoring the Old American Republic, which sadly is not looking too good right now)? Will the Busheviks even bother with having an Emperor I'm-a-Bushevik-but-my-name-ain't-Bush-so-stop-saying-we-are-a-hereditary-Empire? Do they need to, given the tired-jaded-post-ironic-whipped-dog-whatever-the-TV-says nature of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika?

NOTE: This is NOT an endorsement of giving up or losing hope! This is only "if these shadows remain unaltered by the future! And it's up to us to see that it doesn't happen! So DON'T GIVE UP and GO DOWN SWINGING if the American Experiment is to finish it's dive into the asheap of history in favor of Empire.
