    They’re trying (vainly) to craft Vance into the next maga messiah for when Trump dies.

      No way that mealy mouthed couch fucker comes close to Trump. I have never understood the Cheeto Banditos appeal but to deny it exists to a large population is ludicrous.

        His appeal is a crass businessman who tells it like it is, just another low class white asshole except he was born lucky and cheated his way to the top. American Joe wants to have a beer with Trump. They believe he’s bold enough to shake it up and fix the economy.

        Vance doesn’t have it at all. He’s there because he’s younger than Biden. Zero charisma in comparison.

          Vance is VP because he is no threat whatsoever to Trump. He’s no threat because he has no ability, intelligence, or charisma, and he’s already bent the knee.

          You’ve gotten it all wrong. That’s the plausible deniability lie.

          The truth is they’d rather be hurt to see marginalized people hurt worse than see improvements to everyone quality of life.

      When trump dies, the Republican party dies

      Remember, these are all vultures that will step on one another to get on top without hesitation, see the OP post image.

      When trump dies, it’ll be “fuck the laws, I will take power now” for a lot of types, like that Himmler wannabe whose name I forgot

      Trump is popular because, whole being a narcissistic anti social asshole with psychopathic tendencies, he has a certain charisma that appeals heavily to the maga base. Make cruel jokes about vulnerable people and such, that kind of thing. He does it quite well, credit where credit is due.

      Vance would become president but he is about as charismatic as a closed umbrella and maga won’t support him further than they can throw him. With so many sociopaths around him eyeing for power, it will turn into a struggle where I fully suspect blood will flow until wiser mouths will call for elections which I highly highly doubt will end Ina Republican win at this point

      Democrats are also about as popular as dog owner who doesn’t pick up after his pet (yes, fuck all of you) because they’re basically Republicans without a spine, so who knows. Maybe maybe, maybe it’s finally time for the types like mamdani, maybe we’ll even see a Sanders Presidency.

      I won’t call for Trump’s death, I don’t want anyone to murder him, I don’t want the Cheeto to become a martyr. I can tell his heart miscle that it’s okay. You’ve been fighting the fat onslaught for decades, you can let go. It’s okay. Let go, rest. The world will thank you from the bottom of their hearts.

        Maybe we’ll see a Sanders presidency.

        Why would you even want that? There was a time I did, a couple cycles ago. The man is 84 years old. We can do better than a president with one foot in the grave.

        (I say, not optimistically)
