      There’s still JD Vance. Trump will be the scapegoat for all of the dirty work that was done to usher in a fascist regime. Vance will be presented as the calmer and more focused dictator.

        I don’t know that Vance has that stupid charisma Trump has that his base fucking gargles on. I also don’t think others would be as scared to act against him as they are the current dictator. This is probably just wishful thinking on top of wishful thinking though.

          Yeah, Vance comes across like a hamster on steroids. But then, Trump is also a shitty example of a human being, so who can say what the authoritarian enablers will suck up to?

      orangeboi is categorically heinous, but this has gone far, far beyond being about one person. This is The Business Plot, round two. This is an axial shift of the United States away from democracy going forward. This is fascism.
