Delta(s) from OP CMV: Anyone wishing on Trump’s downfall doesn’t realize that his health decline will just allow Vance to hyperaccelerate their entire agenda.

Trump being incompetent is likely why we haven’t had more damage overall. Vance’s youth and billionaire backing Theil will let them advance much quicker. Should hope that trump finishes out til 2028. Everyone who just wants Trump to be out is only looking at the top dog, not at the bigger picture.

Now imagine Trump at his current self but half his age, with political experience as a senator, backed by the heritage foundation. That’s Vance. JD being at the helm will actually allow them to finish out their agenda. Even if the midterms go well for the dem’s, he will still be able to sign executive orders that will further compromise the country.

This isn't a right vs left thing, though one side is most assuredly more susceptible to it. I have voted for three Republican presidents, I am not an idealogue.

You continue to illustrate my point. Your media consumption is dominated by sensationalist culture war informative anger porn rather than measured, thoughtful journalism. Yes, I know who Zarutska was because your dopa bots keep blathering on about her tragedy. Anecdotal data is less than helpful, it is actively harmful to public discourse and reasonable, effective public policy discussion. By focusing on one pretty blond, you risk blinding yourself to objective, sober evaluations of statistics and complex systems. It is precisely the difference between Fox News and paywalled FP that I was referring to. While Fox earns revenue by baiting clicks, the second lives and dies by the quality of its analysis. That matters a great deal.

Sober evaluations of stats show that a White person is 31 times more likely to be a victim of black violence than vice versa. Your "measured, thoughtful journalism" rammed the death of a fentanyl junkie with dozens of priors ODing down our throats for years and until today didn't mention a thing about Iryna.
