My current conspiracy theory is that he is gonna get assassinated by the """far left""" (aka totally not the Republican party), which will trigger a full fascist takeover. He's too old for me to imagine him being able to make it through a full second term, and too unpredictable for Republican politicians to actually want him to be around; so the ideal situation would be to have him publicly assassinated and use that to drum up support for massive surveillance and restrictions on personal freedom.

Yeah even if he doesn't get assassinated, I do think he's nothing more than an idiotic puppet for the real enemies to democracy to command.

The biggest joke of all is how American voters believe that there's any kind of active mainstream left in US politics.

This is where I disagree. I've watched this trump fellow for quite some time. The universe has a ginormous hard on for the guy, sure there might be 100 assignation attempts but guaranteed he squeaks through each one of them.

His dad lived to 93 and his mum until 88. He might be with us for another couple of decades

I see it all as a play to push Vance forward. Whether taking over or just as the next candidate
