Given his age, there is a non-zero chance that he may die while in the presidency?
JD Vance isn’t exactly a charismatic individual (some might even go so far as call him ‘weird’); so this entire neo-fascist movement may very well fragment and flounder in the not too distant future.
If he dies before they are able to really get the structural changes in P2025 off the ground, Trump’s death will likely instigate the death of the movement. If it dies after that the P2025 restructuring has happened, won’t matter.
No doubt he’s smart, he hitched his wagon to the Trump train after all - but I don’t think that’s particularly important.
He doesn’t have Trump’s charisma, so he’d struggle to maintain control over his fan base and would likely face challenges from key faces in the cohort (eg. Ron DeSantis, MTG etc.)
This is basically my reasoning as well, he will most likely be eaten alive by the true believers and power brokers will break him over knee. All of Vance’s influence is derived from Trump. And especially if Trunp dies before inauguration he may very well become irrelevant depending on certain factors.
The whole presidency is alarming… Please find a bit that it is not?

I’m actually way more afraid of Vance in the presidency than Trump.
Why is that? He lacks the cult of personality to be able to carry on after Trump IMO, and was largely picked as a ‘Yes Man’.

Probably because he’s smarter.

In not alarming news…Maybe the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey will remain largely unchanged
Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.
Nah, let’s all take a good honest look at what’s happening and start preparing for it.
