His age is wild, but also he’s been a senator for 45 years. He became a Senator before MTV or the personal computer existed. He hasn’t lived in the real world longer than most Americans have been alive.
Not anymore she divorced him recently. Then got caught and kicked out of a theater for dry humping her date during a live production of Beetlejuice. You know, a shining example of proper sexual conduct.
I think this perspective is the real copium. Vance’s performance in the VP debate righted the ship for the Trump campaign. Trump’s rock-solid 38% will vote for anyone with an R.
Vance lacks the showmanship, but he makes up for it by either pretending his terrible agenda is not true or actually agreeable to the center-right. Most know Trump is crazy. Even his more adoring fans will give him a pass on at least one insane thing if you press them. Think “I wish he didn’t post on social media so much, but I love that he speaks his mind”
Two years is more than enough time to get incumbency advantage. He can course correct a couple things in July 2028 and ride that through the debates saying “I’m not trump guys, see, I fixed X and Y!” That gives the 38% the okay to say “yea, he’s basically trump still, I didn’t actually want X or Y”
As for winning over the rest of the electorate, who cares? Who on the left didn’t know what trump was? We all knew. We saw through the Project 2025 lies. It didn’t matter. Enough people stayed home because they knew and thought “it won’t be that bad” or “he won’t win with that baggage”
That’s Vance’s strength. He doesn’t need to win anyone over. All he needs to do is flake off a couple factions by pretending to not be that bad.
36·8 months agoIt never did, RFK just used his position to supercharge the myth and lower share prices long enough for Kimberly-Clark to acquire Kenvue.
Why would they? It’s a win-win. They either get significant tax payer money invested on their behalf, or the oil stays off market keeping their prices high.
Toward the end he was blaming future Biden.
Or, easier method. He runs. Democrats sue saying he clearly can’t have a third term. SCOTUS declines to take the case because the constitution says he can run, he just can’t be elected.
States wait for each other to take him off the ballot, since elections are state run and eventually none of them do because they waited too long and they are super-duper sure he won’t win this time.
He wins, Sued again, SCOTUS declines to take the case because he’s a sitting president and who are they to mingle in elections “we can’t set a precedent of stealing elections from the people’s choice” or something of that nature.
Opposition falls in line because, yet again, the majority of Americans decided he and the GOP were the best choice and they’ll lose if they fight back. But really, if he wins a third term, GOP owns Congress and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it anyway.
Boom, third term for Trump
Triple SecDef
“Democrats are being callous” against federal workers, they say, as their King fires a third of them and asks if he can NOT pay them when the shutdown ends.
Plans now include a parade since that coincides with Trump’s 79th birthday.
According to the article, the parade part is specifically for Trump
More like 50% can’t be bothered because they “aren’t political”
23% are GOP single issue voters who with vote their party till the day they die for that one thing (guns, god, babies, etc.)
27% have some assortment of center to left values and with flake easier than Tesla paint if any one of them is not met
GOP reps “lol, no thanks, I only care to visit you in August -September every 4 years because your votes overwhelmingly prove that is literally all that is required of me”
Unfortunately impeachment is also meaningless. I don’t see a circumstance where 67 senators would ever vote to convict.
The only thing that might work is to be barred from public office and placing the secret service under congressional control to enforce it. But since presidents are untouchable kings now, 2/3rds of Congress and state legislatures are never going to give that up when they could be the king one day themselves.
It’s wild that you’re right given that most of the new EV and battery factories are in red states. Just shooting themselves in the foot as usual.
Maybe a bright side; filling the executive with inept sycophants might slow down project 2025. The reason he struggled to achieve a lot of his bullshit the last time was they didn’t have skilled people to navigate the legal system.
Of course, that legal system also made him a king so…all they have to do is make him say whatever they want to do. But maybe, hopefully, they’ll spend a lot of time fighting amongst themselves.
One more I’ve heard from the MAGAs in my workplace: Trump did not actually get a first term because the Democrats obstructed him so 2024 is actually his first term
It’s the Tragedy of the Commons defense
Same 39% “new low” he’s been at for the better part of a decade now
