Do you think it’s likely that MAGA will flip flop and suddenly love Vance if Trump dies? I mean they all hated Elon musk for the electric car stuff, but then loved him out of nowhere when he said he is “dark maga”

They didn’t love him because he said he is “dark maga”. They loved him because Trump told them to.

You can’t expect these people to act logically or rationally. The rules that govern how normal, sane individuals think don’t apply to base where a large percentage of them exhibit fantastical, illogical, or conspiratorial thinking.

They’ve proven time and time again it’s not about what he does or says, but about who he is. It’s a cult of personality. Vance has nowhere near the same appeal to these people as Trump does. There will be many different actors chomping at the bit to replace him. I personally don’t see any of them hitting all of the right spots to slide in there.

I do see slimy weasels like Stephen Miller trying to make him into a quasi mythological figure in order to try and control the base because he would kill his own mother for more control and power of people.

Why wouldn’t they love Vance already? He’s full MAGA and has been for years at this point.

I think they'll try, but for them, it will be like having to get rid of the 4x4 truck they really love and having to drive a Hyundai from 20 oh shit.

THIS.

Trump is a means to an end.
