i really hope you’re wrong about that second part. keep in mind this is probably like 50% cope on my end, so take it with a grain of salt. but i do hope that jd vance’s sheer unpopularity will make that hard. it seemed like everybody hated him going into the election, and they were voting only for trump. so if trump gets martyred, i could see the party fracturing, with many people unwilling to blindly follow vance in the same way they followed trump.
Why? Put him in jail before January so he spends 4 years as a jailed president
I mean why not? Throw him in jail, invoke the 25th, 2nd term cancelled!
this is how we end up with a jd vance presidency. i’m honestly not sure if that’s worse
That’ll happen regardless. They’ll martyr Trump before midterms and use that as a reason to declare martial law and cancel elections.

Practicality beats purity, sadly.
