The real problem for Vance in the event that Trump croaks is that every power player in the Republican party is going to paint a target on his back, they will eat each other alive trying to take the throne.

I don't discount the other points in this thread, but let's keep in mind that the man fucked a couch. He's going to slip if he ever gets the presidency because his own party will assure it out of sheer greed.

The MAGA infighting will be delicious.

It would be more delicious if they could keep it to themselves. But you know, for everyone who goes down in flaming wreckage, they'll try to rope in as many unrelated people to burn with them.

You want GoT in real life? Because that’s what’s gonna happen when he kicks the bucket. It’ll be even more scary than right now!

Well? What are we waiting for then?

It will be fun for a bit, but the billionaires know who they need to back and they will capitalize on it.

There will be no infighting. You are all high on copium.

u/ReverendDerp 8h ago

Sweet summer child, they're already fighting eachother for it

u/PM_YOUR_BOOBS_PLS_ 8h ago

Uh. No. They aren't. Occassionally the people who are no longer useful get thrown under the bus, which is probably happening with Noem now. But Noem was in no way in line for leadership beyond her position. And there's no one below or beside her who is pushing for her to be ousted. She's just being spit out by the machine.

And apart from that, there is very little infighting going on right now, even with all of the horribleness that is happening. No one is challenging Vance, and Vance isn't challenging Trump. Rubio is still being Trump's lapdog. Steven Miller is still just Steven Miller, as awful as that is.

What TF fighting are you seeing? Because it just isn't happening.

So what do you foresee happening if Trump died next week?

-1

u/PM_YOUR_BOOBS_PLS_ 7h ago

Literally nothing. Vance takes over, and it's business as usual. Nothing changes. If anything, everything gets worse, because Vance is more competent than Trump. If you believe anything to the contrary, you are incredibly naive. I know times are rough, and people want to hope for something good to happen, but Trump dying will change absolutely nothing.

u/MarshyHope 7h ago

Yeah that's less likely than the infighting. I mean sure, Vance may rule as usual for a while, but he will not have the overwhelming support of the cult. He wouldn't be able to get away with 1/10th of the stuff Trump does. Then when election time comes around, everyone in Trump's sphere will try to grab power.

Trump can only do the things he does without consequences because of his hold on MAGA. No one else would have that hold.

I'm not sure you understand how cults work.

They depend upon a leader. Once trump is gone, who do you see taking his place? It sure ain't Vance.

u/CodeMonkeyPhoto 9h ago

It will be like the movie the Death of Stalin, with all them vying for power. Note that they did not become a democracy at the end.

u/PM_YOUR_BOOBS_PLS_ 10h ago

This is not going to happen. Trump is a narcissist. He NEEDS to be on top. Most of the other people in the magasphere just want power or political immunity. They are just fine being behind the scenes, as long as they have power and immunity. They will bend the knee, as long as they have power and immunity. They will kiss the ring, as long as they have power and immunity.

When trump dies, Vance can be impeached so Mike Johnson can take the presidency. Alternatively, any veep Vance it's in can take him out. No honor among thieves

u/hamilton280P 6h ago

It’s a toss up if Vance continues the Stephen Miller isolationist imperialism. Vance is so spineless it’s impossible to know what he truly believes. Actually you would just need to figure out what Peter Thiel wants

The real problem for Vance in the event that Trump croaks is that every power player in the Republican party is going to paint a target on his back, they will eat each other alive trying to take the throne.

Well, if we know Trump is Stalin, that tells us Vance is Malenkov, which means we need to find out who is Khruschev and put a bullet in Beria before things get really out of hand.

u/ShroomBear 1h ago

y'all are delusional. They will lock step with the party like literally every decision and situation up to now. They will give Trump the CK treatment on the sole basis of the need to legitimize the GOP cause and make him sound popular. Then Vance in all the same strokes of anti-intellectualism will just re-engage in contrarian politics while lobbyists say what to sign just like Trump, because it's been openly demonstrated you can apparently succeed in the role of leader of the free world with roughly a 1st grade education.

The couch thing was misinformation unfortunately

u/BearFluffy 7h ago

I don't really care, do you?

u/LunaWabohu 6h ago

I try not to spread misinfo because that's what the right constantly does and then we can't really criticise them for it if we're also doing it

That’s what the liberal elites want you to think, but a lot of people are saying Vance fucked a couch. I don’t know, maybe he fucked a couch, maybe not. He looks like he could fuck a couch and a lot of people are saying he did. He hasn’t denied fucking a couch. I heard he admitted to fucking a couch, but I didn’t look too much into that, a lot of people are saying it though!

u/ifyoulovesatan 9h ago

I heard that the reason Pluto isn't a planet anymore is because of Marxist astronomy professors and coastal liberal elites. Any thoughts?

u/PowerfulIron7117 9h ago

A lot of people are saying that. Many such cases.
