except for the crippling tariffs, and I think they own Vance completely, so I think they will instruct him to eliminate most. I’ve also heard rumblings about the Cuckoo Cabinet choices, so Mr. Kennedy’s time might be short lived. So I believe his term will be less authoritarian and more as a pawn of the oligarchs.

He will keep some of Trump policies, get rid of the tariffs and replace members of the cabinet by tech bros or others that are actually competent in order to push his and Theil's agenda.

However, since he does not have a grip on the cult, there will be resistance in the GOP house and senate, and he won't be able to get anything passed especially when we retake the house in 2026.

He is a chameleon and will do whatever those actually in charge tell him as long as he retains a position of power or prestige.

Vance is Trump without the mercurial nonsense...

Besides, it's the team that is already in place that makes day-to-day decisions and forwards legislation...Just like Biden.

…however digital assets will contribute to a much larger part of the economic playbook.

I personally believe this has already been hashed out; it’s just a matter of how quickly this timeline unfolds.

the complete shit show he provides appeals to at least 75 million morons in the country. Vance is the oligarchs spare pen. The have a rubber stamp SCOTUS and Congress. They won't miss a beat implementing Project 2025 if Vance replaces the Orange Anus.
