How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and found out JD Vance was president?

[Renew Deal]

[Aviation Pro]

1. I'd change my vitriolic posts to reflect "Couch Fucker"

That’s what I’d do.

[DavidDvorkin]

2. Not very surprised.

[ForgedCrank]

3. worse

[Vogon_Glory]

4. Unsettled. Trump has. Feral cunning, but he's disorganized and erratic

Vance lacks Donald John’s charisma, but he’s more intelligent. I wouldn’t feel assured that things would get better.

[FakeNoose]

5. Yep, Vance is probably just as corrupt as Chump, but for different "masters"

Plus he's younger so presumably his health is better.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

16. "....charisma..."

and

[Vogon_Glory]

22. I might find Orange Julius to be repulsive

But look how many Americans turned out to vote for him. It wasn’t just the billionaires pouring hundreds of millions into PACs or Eloon and other Tec-bros using bots that caused the 2024–tens of millions of voters apparently LIKE being lied to and aren’t choosy about what sort of guy they perceive as alpha males

[Renew Deal]

28. Vance has Joffrey Baratheon energy

It may actually be worse.

[Coolgoober]

6. Great!

Like I told my wife when she said then we would be stuck with JD Vance. I said one at a time.

[dem4decades]

7. More likely Trump's in the Middle East.

[ananda]

10. Wouldn't we know if a plane was flying there?

I thought there were people here who keep track
of planes.

[dem4decades]

12. I would think they could keep it quiet for safety purposes.

Or at least that would be their excuse, they would really do it for the wow factor


Never trust Trump.

[ananda]

35. I don't see how you can fly a plane across the world secretly.

How would they keep that secret?

[Deuxcents]

45. Wouldn't that be too risky as he's insulted just about every ME leader? He's laying low and enjoying the attention

[Wicked Blue]

8. I would cheer and point out that the midterms are 7 months away nt

[viva la]

9. Despairing....

But I remember that Ford-- a much more plausible president-- lost the election after taking over from Nixon.

You know, Richard Nixon is the one person who really benefits from Trump's presidency. Never again will we say Nixon was the worst president of all time.

[BlueKota]

20. I also can no longer say Dubya was the dumbest!

Tsf has him beat by a mile.

[Norrrm]

33. Dubya thanks God every day for Trump.

[Vogon_Glory]

26. I concurr with Agent Orange now being the worst, but

I still think that James Buchanan was worse than Tricky Dick.

[anamnua]

49. Andrew Jackson? NT

[hlthe2b]

11. Vance has a lot of enemies and even more detractors... I suspect we would be bombarded with

reporting on his various "issues."

[Iris]

13. I'd laugh

[leftstreet]

15. +1

Then instantly log on all social media to laugh with others

[dgauss]

14. Vance doesn't have a cult following that scares the hell out of Republicans

so that might be an improvement. He might be an odious puppet of people like Peter Thiel but at least there would be a chance that Republicans in congress might shift their idea of self interest towards a little more push back on the craziest and most destructive shit. One can hope...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. Hungry. NT

[BlueKota]

18. Still unhappy as J.D. is as heartless as tsf.

I would just hope that my psychiatrist is right about the majority of cults not transferring their allegiance to a succesor.

[Emile]

19. I would be celebrating the end of the Great Trump

Economic Disaster.

[ALBliberal]

21. I go back and forth on this one

in many ways he is more dangerous. Younger. I think for sure smarter. But he is so uncharismatic. And I guess for the cult? Trump is charismatic.

Get the vote out. Fuck them both.

[Tree Lady]

44. The thing that is scary about him

Is that he can make himself sound sane, like at the debate with Gov Waltz.

[The Blue Flower]

23. The MAGAs will tear him apart

drumpf minus the worship and charisma is just a bunch of crappy, destructive policies. He has even more disdain for the worshippers than djt has.

[WestMichRad]

24. Both jubilant and disgusted.

It’s not like there would be a noticeable improvement, but we’d at least be rid of one embarrassment.

[BlueNProud]

25. Happy. Trump is physically and mentally ill. Will kill us all.

[JBTaurus83]

27. Happy that Dump is dead

I’d celebrate for a few days. Then move on to deal with Vance.

[NCDem47]

29. Trump's auto pen magically signs 300 EOs before Vance takes office

Trump’s handlers keep things quiet until they extracted every last bit before handing over to Vance.

[dgauss]

46. I forgot about the auto pen.

Palantir is probably operating that thing now.

[struggle4progress]

30. I might wonder if Donny was poisoned by something JD bought

[milestogo]

31. Even more nauseated.

[Orrex]

32. Well, I'd have to start a new daily list

[RandySF]

34. Just as bad as I feel tonight.

[Dave says]

36. Happy. But then ...

… the reality of having JD Vance as Prez will slip in and I’ll just pull the covers over my head and go back to sleep until 2029.

[ecstatic]

37. I'd be a little relieved, honestly. jd is not made of teflon

at least not yet, and he doesn't struggle with the series of psychiatric and mental issues that trump does (which has placed us all in untold danger over the past 15 months). jd struggles with some issues though--3 name changes as an adult, unsure of his sexuality, etc.

From my understanding, the Iran war destroyed his chances for 2028.

[rsdsharp]

38. Scared shitless, just like now.

But in a different way.

He doesn’t have the hold on the base, so Congress wouldn’t be as servile, and he has the charisma of wallpaper paste, so I doubt he’d be electable.

On the other hand he’s smart, isn’t bat shit crazy, has Theil’s money behind him, and would be able to run as an incumbent.

[irisblue]

39. Really pissed off , AGAIN, for Tim Ryans piss poor campaign in 2022

He should have campaigned in the big 5 Democratic cities in Ohio instead of sucking up to maga in NE Ohio.

Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton

[regnaD kciN]

40. In the words of Gilbert & Sullivan...

…I’d feel “modified rapture.”

[Ms. Toad]

41. Pissed off. I think we'll be better off in the midterms if Trump is still president in November.

Part of the motivation to vote against Trump syncophants in the midterms is to help put brakes on his worst instincts. I don't think that would be as much of a motivation if Vance were president - at least during a honeymoon period (which would last past November). I think more middle of the road voters would be inclined to give Vance a chance by not stacking the House and Senate against him.

[Sun-Moon]

42. Karma is hanging out in D.C.

And probably isn’t finished with the visit just yet.

[oldsoldierfadingfast]

43. I would be wondering...

if Putin has him 'groomed' yet?

[Marie Marie]

47. Can we back up and take this one step at a time. So before we get to Vance is President, we need to go back

to "Holy shit and Yahoo, Trump is dead!! Then I would pause to celebrate for however long I want to. I want to dance and sing and cheer and march in the streets to celebrate his long awaited demise. I want to savor that news like fine wine. And I want to enjoy that feeling for a long time .I need that, we all need that and we deserve that. I reserve the right to stay in that mind space for as long as it feels right.

Then and only then will I brace for Trump Lite and all the horror that brings.

[Blue Full Moon]

48. He won't be there long.

Going the way of Spiro Agnew.

[samsingh]

50. More scared than i am now

[Kaleva]

51. Relieved

Vance doesn’t have the following that Trump does

[LudwigPastorius]

52. "How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and found out JD Vance was president?"

I would feel like I just swapped an advanced case of rabies for terminal ass cancer.

[lame54]

53. BitterSWEEEEEEEEEET!

[struggle4progress]

54. Pause to spin a little tune -- then get back to work on my long-term project

[Bluetus]

55. He is Theil's puppet. but at least Vance ...

may understand he is young enough to spend a long time in prison if he commits crimes. Trump didn't care. He thinks he can steal elections until he dies,

Also, I don't think Republicans would be so quick to commit treason for Vance.

[Lovie777]

56. That the nightmare still continues......

[Duncan Grant]

57. Delighted. Giddy with vengeance.

So much opportunity awaits!

[IbogaProject]

58. About like this
