JD Vance has a law degree from Yale. He knows this is unconstitutional. He knows administrative warrants were a central cause of the declaration of independence. He knows all of this.
tRump is stupid and incompetent. He has a loyal base that he has a lot of influence over, and he’s corrupt as fuck, but he’s no more than a figurehead and a convenient puppet for his handlers.
J.D. Vance might not be as charismatic, doesn’t have the loyal base or the unchecked influence, but he’s just as corrupt, just as evil, maybe even more so because he’s not simply narcissistic and self-interested but actually ideologically committed to the project of fascism and theocracy, and his handlers are the main proponents of technofeudalism.
The most concerning part, however, is that J.D. Vance isn’t stupid and incompetent like trump. He’s intelligent and calculating, meaning he might be even more effective at being evil and corrupt.
The saving grace is that he might not get elected; especially if maga splits into factions post-trump (the groypers vs tpusa, the evangelicals vs tech oligarchs, white supremacists vs latin-american catholics, nationalist christians vs israel lobby, musk vs thiel/yarvin, and wherever ellison, huang, nadella, pichai, bezos, cook, and zuckerberg, etc. fall into the mix, they’ll all be ruled by self-interest over ideological convictions).
That’s why I’m almost hesitant to hope trump dies in office. That would allow Vance to walk into the position without being elected, which could potentially be so much worse than waiting out the rest of trump’s term.

That’s the thing, though, isn’t it?
