    They’re actually not.

    A lot of them are, and definitely the ones online 24/7.

    But trump having the actual official White House communicate like this does add up and will hurt Republican votes.

    trump isoving to fast and it’s what’s gonna end up stopping it. It’s why I hate when people act like trump is the problem, if he died today Vance takes over and they do the same evil shit, just smarter about it

      While not the problem, Trump is still a problem. Vance doesn’t command the loyalty of the cult in the same way that Trump does. His closest successor in that regard is Musk.

        If trump dies in office he doesn’t have to have cult backing.

        But he is more conservative than HW, and HW got the win after Reagan.

        Vance was groomed to lead this movement he even got set up with his wife by the “Tiger Mom” at Yale and then she got the wife SC clerkships.

        People are underestimating Vance just like they did trump

        Hillary pushed him to run because she thought he’d be the worst, and it backfired spectacularly. Don’t assume Vance can’t grab the reigns when crazier shit is literally happening as I type this.

          Vance was groomed to lead this movement

          If you want some fun tin-foil conspiracy thing, there’s one I heard that I both find entirely plausible AND actually believe.

          Basically, when (not an if) Trump dies or is otherwise removed, Vance will come out as the ‘We’ve had a hard time, what with our last president being a batshit insane rot brained moron. I’m going to undo the worst of his decisions, and get MAGA back on Track’.

          And presto, we now have moved to the competent dear leader part of this whole play, and everyone from creepy neocons to the bleeding heart-ist liberals will applaud and say what a lovely thing this is, and all this change is good!

          Except it’s the same shit, just sane washed, because it’s not hard to be LESS insane than the Tangerine.
