Oh I agree, if Trump’s body suddenly realizes tomorrow that it should have stopped functioning years ago and he just spontaneously turns to dust in the oval office, there will be about a week-long, nationwide celebration, but it won’t make things better in the medium-term.
Vance isn’t going to command the same level of political power by far, but the shit that’s already been started (or ended, like USAID) will continue to wreck our society for years or decades, even if everything goes right, even if we had our glorious leftist revolution like kids around here seem to like to think will happen any day now, the damage is active and will continue to cause damage for years and years. The world and American policy are like slow moving boats, and even minor adjustments can take decades to have an impact.
Im not really talking about things like USAID, I’m talking about his consolidation of power broadly and the normalization of the abuse of presidential power
