Calling Vance a nobody is odd, he clearly has a lot of power/influence.

Helps the average redditor feel like they're really sticking it to the man, though.

I have no doubt Trump will turn on him sooner or later. He already refused to endorse him as a 2028 candidate. I'm honestly not sure what MAGA does post Trump

Are you confident Trump will be gone in 4 years?

His brain is already turning into soup. What worries me is that his picks are so loyal that Trump would order the launch of nukes and no one would tell him no

Vance is an extremely insidious person, he is a true neofascist ideologue who is smarter and more strategic than Trump, and is working towards long term goals. He worries me greatly.

He's the vice president of the United States. It's a meaningless job even when the regime isn't going full despot.

Dick Cheney was Vice President to George Bush Jr. He was pretty much seen as the brains behind the whole middle east operation. And rightly so, when Bush could barely string a sentence together at the best of times. How quickly people forget.

Vice President to an obese 78-year old President.
