Vance is younger and smarter than Cheatloaf, and that's scary as fuck. I hold on to the idea that the hard-core maga base isn't going to rally behind Vance. He's not loud, crude, and bombastic enough. While he may be better at spewing fascist rhetoric, he won't spew it in a way that entertains the puerile playground bully mentality that fuels the trumpers.

In any case, gird your loins, people. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

I agree. The Rockbridge Network bullshit tends to prove it. It mobilizes and creates teams of Project 2025 people, through their functions.

Vance is a vain social climber and a thoroughly nasty piece of work and will overplay his hand because of his lack of either plutocrat class social experience or Trump’s mafiosa famiglia rules. Once he is placed as POTUS by the Thiel Brotherhood the crippling social and economic chaos being perpetrated by MAGA governance will quickly morph into hyper violent authoritarianism.

Buy some extra buckles to further buckle up the buckles aready in place.

Vance is a fanatic, even more dangerous than Trump.

Vance is backed by the "right" (and I really mean wrong), People.

Like Theil.

If Present Pedo kicked the bucket then this entire fascist movement would collapse. MAGA won’t accept Vance and the infighting within the Repugnant party will tear it apart.

True. There is a slim chance that it might survive but MAGA hates Vance and he is not liked within the party either. The Nazi’s collapsed without Hitler. There isn’t someone who MAGA will accept that can take over. No matter how much money or influence they have. Fascism always collapses under its own weight eventually.

Hopefully in the midterms Democrats can make him the lamest duck in history.

I would and can hope for this, but when you read the Rockbridge Network stuff weve been publishing over the last week, its hard to think that this might happen.

Rockbridge is founded by vance and backed by a bunch of scary people.

As horrible as Trump is, I would pick him over Vance any day. Trump has a certain entertainment value, like watching an orangutan eat a watermelon. Vance . . . (I can't even describe how he makes me feel; icky?). I shudder and want to cry.

I appreciate the nuance of a strategically placed homophonic pun.
