The bad shit hasn't even started yet.

I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say "No, this is fucked. He needs to go."

At least 30% of the population has drunk the Kool-Aid and is so deep in, nothing, not anything, will turn them from their God King.

Republican propaganda outlets will tell them that there is no problem and they'll believe it. If not that, they'll tell them the problem is a fault of the "others", and they'll get even more on board the maga hate train. They're a lost cause.

30% of voters

Don't forget there's a whole separate worse category of people: those who refuse to vote or learn about "politics"

I heard that Vance is twice as bad.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Vance doesnt have the cult of personality behind him.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He doesn't need them. He's already VP.
