Conservative political consultant Rick Wilson says a MAGA Hunger Games is playing out in Washington as President Donald Trump, 79, shows his age.
Wilson said rumors from the Trumpverse indicate that Vice President JD Vance is moving fast in this shuffling of power behind the scenes, positioning himself to take over the MAGA movement sooner rather than later, according to Wilsons Substack.
Slow or fast, hes headed down, Wilson said of Trump. The circle who knows whats up is very, very small and very, very paranoid. JD Vance knows, and hes moving fast.

JD will cement the Nazism with great support.

It's whether the powers that be will back him. And they will.
And he will belittle and shit on everyone that trump has belittled and shit on, but with a slicker vocabulary.
Hell argue for and lie about the exact same policies. He'll make the GOPs feel safe about coming out of the woodwork. Hakeem will mellow out his rhetoric and stop his Capitol steps daring. Chuck will announce his willingness to work with J. D. where they find common ground. The racist raids will continue.
There will be no drama, but MAGA will stay tuned and keep cheering for the GOPs.

(18,889 posts)He can rile the base against them. He can use his personal fortune against them and his offspring will help. JD is a pathetic little wimp. He is way too polished for the base to even like him let alone follow him.

(8,916 posts)He's their handpicked guy.
If you think the MSM has done everything they can to normalize trump, just think what they'll do to create mad caricatures of a JB or a Newsom.
The base didn't happen overnight. This is decades of manipulative work and civil negligence, and centuries of unreconciled white supremacism with all its brutality forgiven and rewarded with the spoils of their crimes.
The base is softened up to further aquiesce to the flowered fascism. You can put eyeliner on a pig and they will fuck it.
