I think it’s undeniable at this point that Republicans are instituting a eugenics program in our country. The “bad guys” are going to win.
I firmly believe that if Trump dies the whole thing crumbles.
Vance has the charisma of a damp paper sack filled with soiled cat litter.
Vance could never bully the media and other politicians (both right and left) the way Trump can cause Vance doesn't have shooters (literally and figuratively) like Trump does. Ain't nobody on Earth ready to die or do jail time for Vance.
My guess is if Trump dies the neo-fascist grip on the American right loosens significantly.
There'll still be a lot of fascists in the right wing, but I'd guess they're at very least start putting their masks back on.
Maybe wishful thinking but I believe it for now.
I've been thinking about this, but I'm not fully convinced....
If that happens, the US might move back toward fascists being closeted, at least in public/on the streets - maybe.... but even if the culture moves to find an equilibrium, the ransacking, bastardization, and mutilation of the administrative state will continue. Likely even amplify. Yet without the uhh... showmanship.. of our current president, it somehow might be less blatant and more covert.
Trump is likely more of an obstruction from what I can tell. The powers that be outbid the US Govt and American people, and Trump was just the catalyst. Hate taking buzzwords, but the deep state the right wouldn't stop crying about is exactly what we saw being installed in the first half of 2025.
