Vance has the cult personality of a wet blanket, plus cults very very rarely survive the death of its founder. It usually takes the person "next in the chain" to be able to match the founder's energy/charisma. Which almost never happens because that would be a "personality conflict"

The Kim family is still in power long after Kim Il Sung's death.
The Ayatollahs are still in power long after Khomenei's death
