I tend to agree, but there's still another factor... Will people throw their careers away for JD Vance? People are throwing their careers away for Trump.

The administration runs on it. And one of our saving graces is that the military is not willing to do this

They're very focused on rigging the midterms because they know the midterms are going to be full of overwhelming upsets. Most Republicans will break with the party if they think it'll save their seats, just like they're falling in line to keep it

When Vance gets into office, a few things are on the table. Vance is going to bring in Peter Tiel and try to create 1984. He might try to go full police state, or even try to invade Greenland... But either he keeps playing this liberal style fascism where you do something cruel and then run home to post about it, or he goes big and probably has a short term

And let's not forget the infighting... He may get the desk, but if the admin doesn't fall in line behind him nothing will actually get done
