Vance has the charm and charisma of a dead mouse under a door mat. Right wing propaganda and think tanks built the perfect fascist base but it was hijacked by Trump and they won’t follow anyone else exclusively. There’ll still be MAGA like there’s still cultists from dead cults.
I never have understood this take. Vance has a lot of evil in him but Trump’s strength lies in having millions of supporters. Vance doesn’t have that. They barely tolerate him. Politics isn’t about just getting into power, you have to have people willing to support your plans. As much as Trump wants it to be, it’s not a dictatorship, and the only reason it looks so much like one is that he has thousands of people in government who will break the law because he wants them to. What reason do we have to think they’d be even half as willing to do that for Vance?
MAGA is a classic Cult of Personality, and Trump is the man. There is no #2, or even an obvious successor. Vance, Rubio, Don Jr, and others all see themselves as the heir apparent, but the MAGA rank & file only love Trump, and when he’s gone, most of them will fade away.
Some may try to keep it together, but their hearts won’t be in it. 90% of the MAGA following will evaporate, leaving only Republicans who sold their souls for the worst president and the most prolific traitor in American history.
When he croaks, the knives will come out, and the backstabbing will begin. I can’t wait.
No he might actually be worse overall because he’s Thiel’s special boy but also he wouldn’t just impulsively nuke Malaysia because they were mean to him. Mostly because he’s Thiels special boy and Peter is terrified of death
If it weren’t for the fact I’m a USA citizen, I’d migrate elsewhere. I may not be high demand but I’m certain there’s countries out there that’d still take someone with my career knowledge still.
Vance isn’t any better

Also, a good chunk of people think he’s weirdo couch fucker that wears mascara and is Peter Theil’s butt boy.
This argument is weak
He doesn’t have the cult of personality that Trump has. This means Republicans can and will openly challenge him which could destabilize the party.
No he might actually be worse overall because he’s Thiel’s special boy but also he wouldn’t just impulsively nuke Malaysia because they were mean to him. Mostly because he’s Thiels special boy and Peter is terrified of death
If they nuke Trump, there is a good chance he’s close enough.
Lots of folks in the DMV don’t need to go down with Trump et al.
The DMV is not magaland
I agree
I’m extremely grateful for the fact that I live in a civilised country, rather than 'Murica
