Nobody is a JD Vance fan, not even the people that elected him. That immutable fact may be our best hope of getting out of this.

It’s worse than absence of compassion. They are actively sadistic. The pain of others is an addiction for them.

It doesn’t remove the policy problems, or the structural problems, but it greatly improves the political situation. They need their teflon figurehead to make unpopular actions palatable to a base. Remove DT, and it becomes more possible to address the other problems.
