I say this knowing many will reflexively disagree, but Vance is much much more dangerous.

Trump wants to punish his "enemies."

Vance wants to usher in the technocracy. And not, like, the sci-fi dystopia one where actual engineers and scientists run things but get a bit eugenics-y.

The Reds have majority control of Senate and the Supreme Court. Trump is the least of America's problems. If they win the House too there will be no checks as it is so unbalanced.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 21 points 17 hours ago

They already had 9 more seats than dems and net flipped is 4 towards Republicans, think its pretty safe to guess which party will have a majority. Just a matter of how much.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It’s looking to be about a 7 seat majority. Doubt too many other seats will deviate from the current counts.

Similarly to how we have it here in Hungary :(

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 26 points 18 hours ago

yeah but then you'd be stuck with couch-fucker!

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 24 points 18 hours ago

Yeah there's no way out of this short of actual revolution.

[-] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 14 hours ago

I have vague hope for faithless electors, it didn't work last time but maybe this time.

[-] errer@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Those spineless fucks won’t do shit.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, but it would make my day, at least. Also, I think he would have less support than Trump.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago

His own father lived til he was 93, so we may be waiting awhile, though Trump doesn’t exercise and eats like shit, so who knows.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 16 hours ago

Every day he lives is another day full of hope that he dies soon. I'm a "glass still has a few drops" sort of guy.

If you have the money, medical science has come a huge way. Rich people can live super unhealthy and still be active and mobile well into old age. Sure the brain goes, but with Trump that station was passed long ago.

Dick Cheney is 83. McConnell is 83. Kissinger was 100.

Evil old fucks are afraid of death for obvious reasons. They aim to live forever.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 6 points 16 hours ago

all the salt and preservatives in his diet, he'll live to 115.

Does the vice-president-elect get inaugurated as president if the president-elect dies before that day?

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 16 hours ago

Does the vice-president-elect get inaugurated as president if the president-elect dies before that day?

Read section 3: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-20/

short answer: yes

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 16 hours ago

Thanks! I appreciate the link. I'm not that familiar with your constitution and its amendments

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 16 hours ago

I'm not American either lol

Apart from the very close one, there was also the guy hiding around Trump's golf club with a gun.

[-] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 14 hours ago

Strangely, the second one didn't actually break any Florida laws.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Trespassing? Probably something Secret Service-y about a perimeter too if I had to guess

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

That's was the time traveler one. The first one was just a disgruntled person. Easy to confused the two.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Maybe you're right and the second one is yet to make his attempt and fail.
