They only need Trump to stay alive long enough to consolidate power. Then it’s phase 2. And it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks as far as “respect” or “like” them. The long term plan is privatize everything completely moving the seat of power away from government altogether. We’re well underway.
They may think that, but it doesn't work that way. They need a singular leader to unite the base. Once that's gone, they'll fracture fast.
What comes next is probably closer to European liberalism. Better social safety net, but capitalism mostly goes on. The US doesn't have a groundswell of support to be any more anti-capitalist than that.
Maybe. Fractured, sure, but I don't think the Republicans collectively will be any less harmful without Trump. Congress and the governors will continue with the Project 2025 agenda under President Vance.

"If Air Force One, carrying Mr. Trump were struck by a missile and blown up, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic," exclaims Vance, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a TRAGEDY?"
"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly wouldn't be a great loss."
He’s going to pope trump
He's here to fuck couches and chew bubble gum and he's all out of bubble gum.

Lol they gonna kill taco
Pretty sure Vance isn't planning to kill him until after January 20, 2027.
Trump is dead, or going to be very soon, isn't he?
What beer should I buy to celebrate?
Enjoy the very momentary joy of trumps death when it happens.
If it happens in this term, you'll find out exactly what Vance is.
The Queen mean girl of the Nazi techright.

Couchfucker is gonna use the 5-point palm exploding heart technique on Chump.
Well it worked on the pope
The only tragedies would be that Trump would have escaped prison and Vance would be President.

Before i got laid off leadership said everything is fine. I didn't believe it then and this is way more obvious.
To be fair he did not say that unprompted. A journalist specifically asked him if he felt ready to take the president's place should something happen. And it is downright misleading from the article writer's part to not mention that detail.

trump is a bully who, for some fucking reason beyond the horizon of my comprehension, people are afraid of. vance is a fucking potatofaced punching bag who literally no one cares about, let alone is scared of.
maybe wishful thinking, but my single shred of hope lies in the implosion/evaporation of the GOP when trump finally fucking croaks and people are shitting on his grave

He can't wait to fuck those lovely couches in the oval office. Right now Donnie won't let him.
"terrible tragedy" ...yeah
Yeah, that's a weird way to spell "New National Holiday".
No one will listen to that weird creep if trump dies. Things would be way more chaotic under vance.
“He’s got incredible energy, and while most of the people who work around the President of the United States are younger than he is, I think we find that he actually is the last person who goes to sleep, he’s the last person making phone calls at night, and he’s the first person who wakes up and the first person making phone calls in the morning.
Because everyone else is a hardcore alcoholic...
If Trump has the most energy out of all his staff. That's not a good thing for trump, it's a bad thing for his staff.
Same bullshit as when Biden was in office, like, I'm pretty sure they were saying the exact same thing when he was in office.
