    The thing that scares me is Vance

    Yes, Vance is a much more dangerous Nazi than Trump, because he’s intelligent.

    But Vance has the charisma of a wet mop, and at the moment, the Trump regime isn’t quite entrenched enough to survive on fear alone - which is the only way Vance could take over and stay in power. For the moment, the regime still needs Trumps’ populism, whatever remains of it.

    If Trump falls tomorrow, there’s a very good chance that the entire fascist shitshow will collapse and Vance will be flushed with it. But it won’t take long for the regime to be in a position to survive without Trump. So hopefully the Epstein thing will be his undoing sooner rather than later.

      Saying he’s intelligent is giving him a lot of credit for simply not being nearly as fucking dumb as trump.

      Right, Vance is a charisma black hole.

      What he has going for him is that he can be an off-ramp for Trump supporters. He could fill the void left by Trump and Trump supporters won’t have to do any introspection, change sides to democrats.

      And he has the backing of the billionaires.

      And, you know, he’s VP, so inertia’s on his side.
