"How do you know that JD Vance isn't batshit crazy? Does a sane person willingly make themselves the pawn of people who are transparently trying to annihilate democratic society? Do they tell the world, I love my wife even though she's not white!? Do they go out in public looking like THAT every day? Don't go selling Vance short in the crazy department just because he's not as loudly and obnoxiously crazy as his boss. Crazy people aren't a monolith."
"President Trump's 978th reported brush with death prompted another round of folks reminding me that the cure could be worse than the disease. Mike Pence would be a more dangerous President than Trump. Ron DeSantis, currently turning the state of Florida into sultry North Korea, would also be more dangerous. Now here comes Vance as the presumed standard bearer for when Olympus has fallen, and I gotta freak out about his ability to become the mythical "Trump if Trump knew how to do stuff.""
"This is the advantage of having a spam cannon as the leader of your party. Everything that Trump says is both distracting and a lie. Those lies pollinate the internet and, together with the digital world's near infinite number of slop hoses, create a dense fog from which nothing can be gleaned."
Letters question JD Vance's sanity and potential danger as a post-Trump leader, noting that overt craziness is not the only form of threat. Concerns are raised that Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis could be more dangerous than Trump if they assumed the presidency. Trump's chaotic, lying behavior distracts and obscures opponents' failings by pollinating the internet with falsehoods and creating a dense fog. That fog has helped other Republicans benefit immeasurably. These successors are described as more dangerous while serving under Trump than they would be if they took power themselves.
