I didn’t think I could hate anyone more than Trump until this guy.

I'm afraid he won't go away after this election.

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

Oh but he will. Trump will put all the blame on Vance. He threw him under the bus during the debate and he'll do it again.

Vance will try to be reasonable but forgets he isn't dealing with reasonable people. Eventually he'll turn on Trump as a way to cozy up to "normal" Republicans. He'll get a few TV appearances and then disappear.

When 2028 comes around he might try to run in the primary but he'll get stomped on and be one of the first to drop out.

He's in the Senate now and that's where he'll stay. Maybe he'll get reelected, but I doubt he'll be around much longer than that.

I like your positivity

Maybe they'll both drink themselves to death before the next election like Joe McCarthy

Hamberders are the anti-heroes we don't deserve!

He'll get beat out by Tucker Carlson or Ivanka Trump in 2028.

Same way with the old, weak, orange felon. He will wear out his moron base and MAGA will return to being normal people after his final defeat, but with psychological scars for the rest of their lives, much like the former Nazis after Germany was defeated.

Honestly for big boy I hope so, but don't know. Assuming he loses this year, and assuming he survives until 2028, I would hope he'd be gone, but I can't be sure. I assume 2026 midterms will give us a rough idea.

And even if Ronald McDonald finally gets him, someone's going to copy this brand of politics and continue this march towards fascism.

They'll try, but you need just the right personality to do that. Usually, when the personality at the center dies, the whole thing collapses and goes away for at least a few generations.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
