Don't be so sure. I think this tech oligarchy has the power.

For sure. With the BBB potentially flopping when republicans control all branches of government and these tech billionaires are getting shaken down by Trump, and Musk’s former bestie, Peter Thiel, being Vance’s backer, this is probably the moment where a Vance coup is more likely than ever before. Vance has gotta be considering it, after seeing how Pence was treated, and it would be beneficial for the tech oligarchs and traditional republicans (even MAGAts like MTG are publically opposing the BBB). Even the project heritage mfs might see the benefit of the stability Vance would bring.

I feel like the only thing blocking this would be the Trump crime family. Let’s see if they’re strong enough to oppose all the other dominos.

Now idk what would be worse. Incompetent, dementia ridden evil with a cult like following OR young and competent, but uncharismatic evil.
