Thinking that it's about any single individual like Trump or Vance shows profound lack of understanding of how the system actually works on your part. If it's not them, then it will be somebody else like them because the selection pressures that put them there are still going to be present. Liberals consistently fail to understand the concept of systemic pressures and are prone to clutching to the great man fallacy thinking that Trump is the one responsible for all the evils, and if he could only be removed from power somehow everything would go back to the way it was before.

The fact that this needed to be spelled out for you is frankly incredible.
