Let's be very clear about the stakes now. J.D. Vance is equally and arguably more dangerous than Trump for this country. Sure, it's funny to watch him order doughnuts, but he's smart and conniving enough to actually take up the MAGA mantle but leave behind Trump's gaffes, ineptitude, and gross lack of discipline.

If Trump is elected at 78, there is a nonzero chance he exits office due to health reasons, or does something insane enough to get himself 25A'd out of office. Regardless, J.D. Vance will likely be the Republican nominee for president in 2028 and **certify the results of his own election.**

The real danger of January 6, 2021 wasn't Meal Team 6 at the capitol, it was the coup attempt by Republicans at the state and federal levels to overturn the results of a free and fair election. They made spurious claims in courts that were all shot down, fraudulently created alternate states of electors, and hundreds of Republicans voted to delay or deny certification of the crucial states they lost. Imagine what could happen if they had a majority in one or both chambers.

If you put J.D Vance in the shoes of Mike Pence, in large part because the big lie has been so sanewashed and normalized, he will absolutely not certify a Democratic victory and throw the country into a constitutional crisis. It will go to the Republican dominated SCOTUS, and that's that folks.

If you ask me, everybody is underestimating just how terrible a J.D. Vance vice presidency will be. Don't let it happen.
