Doesn’t matter who the VP pick is, the big wet boi is cooked.

Trump’s followers will do some terrorism like they usually do, but the majority of them will become disenfranchised and go the way of the tea party - still present, still a pain in the ass, but ineffectual. They will devote their time to Trump’s new talk show and he will sell them Trump hairy balls strong man supplements and other scams.

American empire will continue to expand, nothing will fundamentally change. Blue MAGA is the new order.

    If they can keep her in front of a teleprompter until the election without fail, maybe. The “they’re so weird, right!” thing will only work for as long as they can obfuscate that she is also alarmingly weird.

      I tend to agree but it’s hard to say when she has been so, so invisible as veep

      Maybe she can be normal? I’ve probably heard her talk for all of 10 minutes since 2020 when you add it all up

      Seems doubtful to me. The ways in which Harris is weird are either common among all politicians, or just as widely shared among Republicans as Democrats.

      R’s can’t challenge her from the right, since she mostly agrees with them there, and they can’t challenge her from the left without “going woke” and starting to care about things like genocide and the prison industrial complex.
