Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed.

I'm not sure this would fix much...
I'm willing to bet Vance doesn't get the blind worship that Trump gets from his followers.
It's a cult of personality, and Vance has all the charisma and personality of a couch.
And Trump has the personality of a sleezy used car salesman but apparently a lot of people are into that
Right, and Vance absolutely can not emulate it.
Poor man's idea of a rich man. Idiot's idea of a businessman. Weak man's idea of a strong man.
Couch is his preference, not his personality. I'd describe it more as toad-like.
That's a roundabout way to tell him to go fuck himself.
Dude George W Bush was their guy two elections in a row.
There people are mindless lampreys just looking to latch onto anything that promises to hurt brown people.
Nobody was flying George Bush flags on their pickup trucks though. He didn't have the same cult of personality.
Nah, I remember seeing many “W” flags on bro dozers. It’s the same awful people.
He needs to fuck some more kids first.
They're like geese, they'll follow anything that waddles in front of them.
Also Vance is going to live long enough to face consequences.
I think its too late to hope on that point, maybe if they all fall to infighting between the tech bro, christian nationalist, and groyper factions they'll tear themselves apart but he would have to be removed very soon for the country to be salvaged into anything resembling the one we knew growing up
If Trump goes down via something like the 25th amendment, or like, assassination, I can see the base rallying around Vance. But left to their own devices to pick a successor? Idk. The whole "Trump 2028" meme, as much as it's supposed to "trigger the libs," kinda shows a lack of confidence or at least excitement regarding Vance, and I can envision a contested primary, especially as things continue going towards shit and they have to find someone or something to blame.
Personally, I suspect that we've entered a period of one term presidents. There are systemic issues that will cause things to continue to get worse regardless of who's in charge (barring radical change) and at the modern pace of discourse, four years feels like an eternity.
JD can get removed after Trump as well. Same goes for porno Mike... And for anyone that goes against humanity.
When one of them go, they're all going to go. The whole shithouse will go up in flames.
