    People forgetting even if Trump will be or had been assassinated, Vance would just take his place and continue the train. Besides, Iran has been claiming they can do this since forever with nothing to show for it.

      The hope is Vance doesn’t have the charisma to keep the cult together.

        Neither does Trump. I don’t know where the argument that he has some kind of Magic Secret Fascism Sauce comes from. Republicans fucking love idiots and have been rabidly supporting them for decades now, and they’ll blindly follow Vance just like they’re blindly following Trump. It could be a sentient mop with a bucket hat, they literally do not care. Trump didn’t win the election, project 2025 did.

        He doesn’t need to, he’s already elected and he’s been awarded god powers to do whatever he wants…by the SCROTUS.

          And then all the politicians do the calculus that he doesn’t have the mojo to back primary candidates and then they just impeach him.

            Fine, that’s a good point, I hope so. But like the other comment says: trump is just a way for them to wash their guilt away, it could be anyone and they’ll still oblige and then you’ll find out that they weren’t being forced by anyone all along.
