Interesting re MAGA for the post Trump era

That is a good post, fair points. I guess I meant if Trump is somehow the puppet master then Vance would be a no-go for me. Otherwise your analysis makes sense.

I'm guessing/hoping Vance will try and divest himself of Trump's malignancy once he becomes a lame duck in a year or so. How to do that without upsetting his base might be an interesting challenge.

Just like one should not have expected "Trump would be different," I also do not think it wise to expect "Vance will be different."

I'm just hoping for the best whoever gets elected. I find it hard to believe that things will get worse than they are currently, but I've been wrong before on that count.

@jon-nyc I think it was somewhat calculated. President Trump has no filter and whatever he thinks, he posts. I dont believe that VP Vance is the same. More like President Obama, where everything is carefully thought out before saying anything. Very little "off the cuff" stuff.

This reminds me, as much of Trump's ecosystem does, of a 3rd grade recess fight where in this case you have 2 people surrounded by students, and instead of talking to each other they are yelling their insights for the crowds to hear and seeing who gets the most cheers.
They say Americans read at a 7th grade level, I sure wish we could get there again.

He sounds like an eight year old kid that didn't get what he wanted for Christmas.
Trump did promise all of that stuff but every politician promises a lot of stuff. That's just politics. The fact of the matter is that neither Trump nor Harris nor Biden nor Newsom nor Vance nor anybody else who you elect is going to give you anything. It is just the way it is. But that's always been the way it is.

Suddenly Trump is just like all the other politicians? His followers have been telling us for years how he's completely different and everything has changed and he's overthrown the old order, and he has no reason to be corrupt as he's already a gazillionaire and he's looking out for the common man and all the rest of it.
Now, it's fine and we have no need to worry as it's always been like this.
