But JD is not the cult leader. He wouldn't be able to carry it off and we might have a better chance at righting the ship. If you're hit by a gust of wind, your sailboat will heel (lean) way over. Release the main sheet (line holding in the sail), the sail will dump the wind and the boat will come upright again. Perhaps not the best metaphor but we are sheeted in too tightly and in danger of capsizing.

The problem with JD Vance is that he is owned pretty much lock stock and barrel by billionaire Peter Thiel and it doesn't matter what he can or can't do. Peter will dress him up and sell him like Lays potato chips.

Also as we almost all know, Trump is a bit of a wild card. He will tack at a hint of a change in the wind. Vance is way more predictable and controllable. That means he is LESS likely to just make his own decision on important issues. He will just ask Thiel which way to jump and how high

It should never be forgotten that Vance's daddy, Peter Thiel, is influenced by and allied with Curtis Yarvin, who is one creepy supervillain. The vilest fictional dystopias don't compare with Yarvin's actual designs.

Much of what comes out of Vance's mouth smells of the Yarvin stench.
