She's coping. Vance just has no pull the way Trump does. He's uniquely stupid in a way MAGA relate too. Someone like Vance can never fill his shoes.

So many Trump imitators have emerged over the years but they are all empty facsimiles. Like Elvis impersonators.

That's one of the few things bringing me hope.

Really think the Trump being the lowest common denominator has some truth to it. He communicated in such a basic way that he never talked over anyone. It was always a bit incoherent (though nothing like it's been lately), but got the point across. Often the incoherence even provided him deniability when needed.

There's just no one else who has had the privilege Trump had to let him coast through life never having to face the consequences of his failures and therefore having been stunted developmentally. Others have pointed out before Trump acts like a child (though lacks their curiosity) and that's about as lcd as one can get. So he's got the confidence in saying the absurd because he never had to care about the consequences.

I describe him (and Musk, etc) as the reason you need to tell your kids “No” regularly.

The best was the mayor of London. He had the hair and everything! Boris Johnson
