“I’m a ‘never Trump’ guy. I never liked him.” “My god what an idiot.” “I find him reprehensible.” "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole ... or that he's America's Hitler".

He's a yes man. Someone who won't contest the orders of the supreme ruler.

The most dangerous thing people can do is dismiss JD Vance as just a "yes man". Just from his Wiki page, he's a NYT published author, a Marine, and has ties to Peter Thiel. He's married to a brown woman, and they both attended Yale for higher education beyond just a bachelors. The cultural capital he has potential to wield is actually immense, and to top it all off he is ONLY 39 years old.

It's a clear sign of the oligarch-aligned members of the party are really hoping Trump just keels over in office and this guy gets to take over. It's a really interesting pick, and I have no doubts that it's to appeal to the neoliberals and centrist/undecided voters.

I'm pretty sure it's more sinister than that. He's an authoritarian, and Trump values loyalty more than anything. A rival authoritarian is a bad idea. Keep your friends close, your enemies closer. Trump needs people to throw under the bus.

History shows that Vance is likely one of those people. Vance would be pretty stupid to not fall in line, but when it comes down to it, it won't matter. He's already offended Trump.

Pretty sure Vance is relying on Trump dying.

If the crazed assassins don’t get ‘em, the hamberders will.

"Hang" in there 🤔

Dumbass joke. Vance is a traitor. He won’t hang.

You'd be surprised. Even the most loyal bootlickers can hang if they're inconvenient enough.

When will it happen? No idea. But it will happen. Totalitarians always do. History is cyclical.

Hang in where?
