Same. Just woke up to this. Feeling very hopeful.

Trump hadn't been seen for a few days. People are speculating. It's likely premature, but it's the Internet so...

When the Queen of England was dying, things got very quiet too. I guess they have to tell all their relatives.

Or, in this case, scramble to consolidate power. While Vance will be constitutional mandated to be president, this isn't going to be a normal transition. *Everything* will be chaos for a bit if this is true.

Trump looks like a pussy cat compared to Vance. 😬

Vance is far more intelligent, but no one will follow him. He won't be a force multiplier in the way Trump's command of the Maga base has been. It's possible his tech bro overlords will try something overt, but I'm not convinced it will succeed without the 50 million rabid supporters.

Everyone is split on what happens when Trump dies (Vance is worse, it doesn't matter, we are still fucked, etc) but I don't think anyone is going to come storming the capital for Vance when he loses. No one is going to support Vance blindly. They can try but MAGA belongs to Trump. It's a cult.

The real concern around Vance is that he'll be used by the tech bros to bring about their dark enlightenment dystopian fantasies. Thankfully the ai isn't advanced enough to do 95% of work or kill 100% of dissidents (though the Russia/Ukraine war is making disturbing progress on the latter) yet.

But if they can get Trump to hold on until Jan 2027, then he can be deposed and Vance can be installed and maintained via voter intimidation, gerrymandering, or outright election (not voter) fraud. *That's* the nightmare scenario.

10 years out and there *will* be the capability to build AI powered slaughter drones to use facial recognition to kill any dissident anywhere in the world for a fraction the cost of jack booted thugs in the streets. If they gain power now, there's no going back.

Saying couchfuck mcghee is more intelligent than a Cheeto isn’t much of a worry. Stupid is as stupid does
