Please do. If there are any sort of legitimate elections, JD ain't winning them. His favourability is lower than Trump's and I doubt they can rescue that. He sounds much more toxic than trump and he reeks of unauthenticity.

100%, a huge portion of the US seems to be aggressively stupid and will continue to vote for Republicans regardless of the leader. The entire US political system needs to be burned down and reconstructed along with massive changes to the education system otherwise, even if a Democrat somehow gets back in, it's just postponing further fascism when the Republicans return.
TBH I think at this point the US needs to Balkanise itself; I don't know any other way out of the current mess it's in
The way out is mass cult de-programming programs first, then arrest/remove/??? the propaganda sources like Fox, Newsmax, OANN, in the first place. Then "provide justice" (edit: there are plenty of legal ways to do this) to the few dozen billionaires causing most of this. Then from there the rest will begin to heal itself, but first you have to cut out the tumor/infection.
Vance can't generate the same kind of cult of personality that Trump can. The GOP would be sunk without that.
It's not their dumbness we'd be counting against for Vance though. The racists hate him because of his wife and children. Most everyone else hates him because he's a charisma vacuum. It's just the techbros lead by Thiele propping him up.
MAGA is a classic cult of personality, and there is no #2. There are plenty of narcissistic morons who think they can be #2, but once Trump assumes room temperature, the knives are going to come out, the backstabbing will commence, and half of the MAGA support will evaporate, and the other half will splinter.
With MAGA burning, it will be the Democrats versus the Sociopathic Oligarchs, and the Dems will have to act boldly and decisively if they want to survive the onslaught of capitalist violence.
Couch fucker doesn't have the charisma to take over.
He might have the money and propaganda machine though
Man, can you imagine willingly watching the Megyn Kelly show? Out of all of the insane right wing talking heads, she has got to have the most annoying holier than thou voice. Match that with her batshit views, and I think you've got new CIA blacksite 24/7 TV material that'd make Cheney crawl back out of his grave to say "hey, isn't that a bit of a harsh punishment?"
And I guess Ericka Kirk is in this story too. Who really gives a shit? She's only in the media until Charlie's death stops being useful, then turning point will replace her with a man (this is still the right wing, after all) and she will then start a podcast and fully fade into relative obscurity.
I’m sure she is
the republican mind is a terrible, unfortunate ailment
"In the works"? Is that what we're calling it now?
Good, what a landslide it shall be.
Trump is basically a puppet for The Heritage Foundation, Vance will be exactly the same, just without the mental issues. If anything, that will make it easier to puppet him instead of Trump
