this country's political sphere is so dire that the only hope a lot of people have rn is that the purple thing on the president's knuckle is the ticket out 😭

As a political science major: Even if he were to have a cheeseburger heart attack tomorrow, JD Vance is even more of a puppet to big money and is not mentally addled by old age. There might be in-fighting for who gets top dog but that would only barely slow things down. Trump’s just a vessel atp imo

But Vance does not have the it factor that Trump has

Like yeah I think there would be some people who’d try to usurp the throne so to speak (Don Jr, for one) but overall Congress Rs are in lock step with this admin. The oligarchs are *this* close to victory they’re not gonna let infighting ruin it *now* This was a project long before Trump

Basically I think if our *only* hope is that he dies soon, it’s already too late. Personally that’s how I feel, barring a supermajority of Congress has a Come to Jesus moment (lol) Also the longer he sticks around the more momentum they’re going to build, the more infrastructure they will create.

You have a point. I think the big thing giving ppl hope rn tho is that Trump’s big ham personality is what enables a lot of these big money guys to do whatever they want. When he’s out, I think there’s some hope that they’ll be more susceptible to pushback

Yeah, perhaps. I think JD Vance being more pliable will come with upsides too though (like being less inclined to give the game away and not being as capricious). At best Trump being out of the picture softens the ground beneath evil’s feet. Will still need mass mobilization which looks unlikely rn

I would love nothing more than to be wrong! But this goes deeper than most know. Either way if he is still alive by January 2027 you can forget about it, cause he’ll have Mike refuse to swear in Congress Dems

I’m thoroughly convinced whenever that happens they are going to spend anywhere from a week to a month trying to pretend that an AI generated hologram is actually him. Something so terribly animated its like those NFT trading cards he barfed out a while ago
