4 more years? Nah. 6 months before they turf him.

This'll be a Vance presidency.

To what end? He'll do what billionaires and the project 2025 ghouls want him to anyways. He doesn't need to be turfed. They want to keep him there soaking up all the media attention and hate while they do their evil shit in the dark.

And it won't end after 4 years.

If they get the supermajority with the house, it's game over. They'll spend the next two years shoring up their power to where they won't need elections anymore.

I've been wondering if this is one of the unwritten plays of Project 2025.

They wouldn't need to bother. High risk for relatively little benefit over him nominally being in the position.

If they are going to sideline him in practice, I'd expect more of a Dick Cheney. It's not like he's going to stand in the way as long as he gets personally enriched/protected.

Vance would be as bad or worse.
