There are probably one or two other things to save your country from that administration..
Except, if I am getting what you are saying right, no. That would make things worse. That would result in President Vance and if you got rid of President Vance, you get President Johnson.
To quote Jello Biafra, "I'd rather have a dumb Nazi than a smart Nazi."
The part that saves it is that Vance can't generate the kind of support that Trump does. He'd definitely fuck stuff up, but fascism is so much about The Guy that anybody but Trump would not be able to build militant support. That is, the kind that makes reporters afraid to say anything bad about the Administration.
Which would be great for an election, but once the Republicans are already in power, they'll just continue to fall in line.
I hope you're right because I think that the chances of Trump making it to the end of his four-year term are slim. I don't know that it will be assassination, but I think he will either just die of old age or, more likely, they use the 25th to get rid of him when his dementia gets so advanced that he can't even read from a teleprompter, let alone say anything off-the-cuff.
Did some math on the Social Security Admin actuarial tables a bit ago. For a 79 year old man, he has a 30% chance of just keeling off on his own in the next 4 years. Probably higher than that, because he's not in good health and eats a lot of McDonalds.
Only if Trump and Vance were gone at the same time. President Vance would immediately choose a VP.
Not my country, but go on…
