      His funeral, whenever it happens, will be the most bizarre event. There will be people in mourning and people celebrating. I fear that many people will be injured and even killed on that day in US. In the rest of the world just people celebrating.

        MAGA won’t let Vance shit in their mouths. That’s how.

        MAGA dies with trump. It isn’t a movement that moves without him. It’s about him. It’s not a brand. It’s narcissism personified.

        He even said so himself. “They’re not MAGA, I am.” -Donald J. Trump.

          MAGA is dying anyway, and Vance is as well placed as anyone to be the face of the ‘new’ Republicans.

        I do wonder if Vance would stop the Iran war if Trump died.

        He holds some pretty nasty views, but I don’t think he’s anywhere near as insane as Trump. There was an interview during Trump #1 where he actually disagreed with quite a bit of Trump’s shit IIRC.

        That doesn’t mean that I think he’d be a good president or that he’s a good human being. Just that he might be quite different than Trump. Probably continue or accelerate the ICE bullshit, but maybe stop the stupid ass war in Iran?

            The Iran War seems likely to be a result of Trump’s fancy though, not a move chosen by Trump’s puppeteers.

            While Vance is a puppet of Thiel, this is not a zero sum game. Vance would probably do less damage than Trump.

                Everybody but Trump knew that Iran would close the strait of Hormuz. Which made it incredibly stupid to go to war with Iran. For reasons which are right now self evident, not that they were not evident before.

                So no, nobody but a mentally declining idiot like Trump would have gone to war with Iran.
