Robert Reich
Just to be clear, Trump picked J.D. Vance to be his vice president because Vance has publicly said he’d do what Mike Pence refused to do — overturn democracy to place America under MAGA control.

@rbreich The real danger of Vance is that he believes in the exact worse possible economic policies that could happen for the U.S.

He's a "Conservative Libertarian" In other words, a Feudalist who doesn't even believe in "nobless oblige."

Regimes like that resort to fascism 100% of the time in recorded history, and don't last very long after that.

@rbreich Vance will be way worse than Trump and if the entire state mechanism isn't careful Vance will become our first true despot, something Trump could only dream of. Trump will exchange blows with the reporters, Vance will criminalize their profession.

@rbreich Putting it bluntly, that means if Trump wins the election, future elections will never be properly consummated by the electoral college, thus he is crowned dictator for life (as long as nature permits) with Vance as heir to the throne.

@rbreich Or, he did it because Musk paid him $200mil to do it. For reasons similar to killing a major social media platform for $44bn, and Jarrod getting $2bn from MbS
Who's paying Musk ? NSA, if you are listening, I'm sure our media would reward you greatly.

Show threadtltroupJul 19, 2024
@rbreich I’m most worried about the fact that Vance is certainly aware that he lacks experience and knowledge, yet he accepted the position. 😬 Additionally, he acknowledged his struggles with anger & shame in his book, which are not a good combination for a head of state. Appalachian shame can be violent & cruel.

@rbreich Yes but in practical terms if the VP doesnt confirm, then I would hope someone else can step in. Furthermore, whats good for the goose...

@rbreich But why specifically Vance? I'm sure there are a lot of people would say that to be Vice President. There has to be something more than that which made Vance the pick.

@rbreich Utter shite. There were thousands of tools in Milwaukee this week who would be delighted to overturn democracy for Trump.

Vance got chosen because he came with millions and millions of donations from Musk and Thiel, unlike those other losers.
