In Latin, "ignoramus" literally means "we do not know."
And you think JD Vance, his replacement by constitutional fiat, is an improvement? Read up on Opus Dei, the Catholic movement he follows. Look at some of his past statements and actions. In many ways, he's potentially more dangerous than Trump specifically because he won't be erratic. Trump's erratic lurching from statement to statement and issue to issue keeps him from doing damage in some areas. The solution to Trump is getting the GOP out of power, not just getting rid of Trump. Trump dying would just set the stage for power games of another kind.
Personally I don't think Vance has a following, he is not liked by many and gets bood often, he doesn't possess the same qualities as Trump.....which are not good qualities, IMO, but he has loyal followers that admire his brazen corruption. He may be just as dangerous but I don't believe he could pull off even a quarter of what Trump gets away with.
I'm not sure it matters since he'll be a one termer at most. The GOP will keep him as a figurehead until the next election, then field someone else as their candidate. In the meantime, the so-cons like Focus on Family get a President and Congress focussed on their agenda.
I agree. I think I mentioned concern about Vance already. The problem is, because of Trump’s totalitarian tendencies and impulsiveness there’s worry that elections won’t happen. It’s a dangerous pairing.
That’s some f’d up stuff. Wasn’t Opus Dei a theme in the Da Vinci Code? Creepy. Vance is creepy.
You can't judge a book by it's cover.

Those things deserve scrutiny but Trump is an erratic madman. It’s different! He has no cover, no filter, no shame, no dependability, no civility - he’s just a megalomaniac. It’s plain to see, there’s no cover and he could care less, and he’s most definitely a more dangerous person. It would be nice to be wrong about that but it’s too obvious. He’s a huckster and he has no humility about it. He enjoys it. He has no respect for the office he holds or half the people he serves. He expects his subjects to serve him - his ego, his ambitions. That is a stark difference.
Trump is not a lone wolf no matter how much you dislike his stage presence the show will go on with or without him. Unless the people united actually find a way to change the script. So far it seems that the bread and circuses distractions are paving the way for the technofascists to rule the conveniently dazed.
It’s more than bread and circuses. The ICE raids and deportations, some cases, of people who’ve lived all or nearly their lives in the US, have grown up there. Some being deported to places they’ve never been and aren’t even from. The total dismantling of programs to give the disadvantaged a leg up, the attack on free speech to those actually trying to speak truth to power instead of using their free speech rights mostly to demean minorities. Real peoples’ lives and whole communiies are harmed by that. It’s not a matter of ignoring that and concerning ourselves only with technofascism. It’s all of it.
No we live in the kind of world where people that have probably never even thought of the east wing White House before are propagandized into being emotionally outraged at renovations to it's structure as usually happens with each new POTUS.
There’s been a technocracy for years, decades, I suppose. Henry Ford was a technocrat, in his own way. NASA is a technocratic government entity. The whole MIC is technocratic.
