I agree about Vance but without Trump none of it would be happening. We're moving beyond democracy now and no idea where it will lead. I just saw a poll with 53% approval rating for Trump. The only reason I could imagine that is people are so bored with their lives they need entertainment like Trump. Meanwhile we're moving towards and executive branch that will create an authoritarian government. It will all revolve around whether the executive will bend to the courts. They don't have to. Trump can just pardon anyone and everyone, including himself, who finds themselves in contempt of court. There is little to stop him especially when over half the country agrees that authoritarianism is better than democracy.
