I think one of the better side effects of "it happening" will be that politics will no longer be entertaining to the layperson. for the past 10 years it's been a reality tv show surrounding the C list reality tv guy and thus attracted the lowliest troglodytes to pay attention.
after he's gone they're not gonna keep it up for a goober like Vance. The sauce will expire and although things will still be awful, the podcast bro voter will no longer matter and those with real skin in the game will once again dominate the discourse.
mr beast will beat the shit out of jd vance and in that hoopla adin ross will walk into vice presidency with president theo von :p
