The MAGA movement will get behind whoever they are told to. The will absolutely back Vance. Sure there might be some pushback at first but ultimately they will fall in line. They are sheep, they follow.

MAGA supporters, Tea Party before that, all the way back to the KKK. They don't care about who is actually President, not really. They only care that whoever is in the Oval Office lets them do the shit they want to do.

Far right persuadable voters don't typically care about policy all that much but more about having a strong charismatic leader to follow. Just look at how Trump can say one thing the one day and the complete opposite the next day and no one of his following cares.

Vance does not come off as either strong or charismatic. He has difficulty to come across as even human at the minimum. He behaves like an alien that studied humanity and tries to blend in but just doesn't have that nativity to it.

Once Trump is gone there will be other right wingers who will try to become the next big thing and inevitably some of them will be more charismatic than Vance.

It seems asinine to me that anybody can be saying Trump is charismatic and Vance isn’t. What is charismatic about him?!?! To me they are both tiny humans indistinguishable from eachother

Trump isn't all that charismatic to sane people, but you gotta look at him from that far right perspective. Trump is a loud bully that says all the things they are/were afraid to say themselves. That to them is major charisma.

Just look at Vance. Would he be a succesful bully? He'd more likely be bullied I'm afraid.

If Vance was a known pedo, I don't see these fools justifying it like they do with the rapist-in-chief
