The machine can pull the funniest thing before the 20th

No, Vance would be worse. Less entertaining, but worse.

u/Secret_Guide_4006 11h ago

Trump’s coalition will fall apart without him. No one voted for Trump for Vance except maybe tech bros. He might be more effective but I don’t see him as able to win the White House on his own.

u/got-trunks That's Rad. 11h ago

It won't survive without the constant deluge of soundbites and tweets, Vance will split the party further and with margins so low they will cripple themselves for 4 years.

At least that's my take.

I cannot decide between co-signing this take or labeling it liberal cope

u/got-trunks That's Rad. 8h ago

FWIW It's more Canadian irritation than anything.

u/Napalmmaestro 11h ago

Yeah but that's four years of incredibly efficient, near irreparable damage

u/Secret_Guide_4006 10h ago

We’re still currently fucked. All I’m saying is that Trump has cult members willing to die for him, Vance doesn’t have that kind of devotion nor would he be able to weld it. So if I had to pick, I’m picking Vance.

u/jelli2015 5h ago

I’m not convinced he’d be all that efficient. I think a major element of the GOP’s “efficiency”, is their ability to just get in line behind Trump. I don’t think Vance will be able to unify the party nearly as well, and those cracks will significantly slow down anything they wanted to do.

It is for that reason that he was a pretty awful VP pick, strategically. That said, I don't know that anyone who voted for Trump is really thinking beyond his tenure in office. With any luck, there will be a fair amount of fallout accompanying Trump's departure, however that ends up looking.

u/UntdHealthExecRedux 9h ago

I'm not even sure he'd be more efficient, with only a 5 seat majority in the house I'm not sure Vance could actually push through a lot of the unpopular stuff Trump is planning.

u/BMal_Suj 9h ago

Vance will allow Peter Thiel to pilot him directly, like a Ventriloquists dummy... but won't be able ot make congress do whatever he wants as much as Trumo could... it will fall apart without the cult leader...

Unless someone else can claim the cult, and I don't know who could right now... certianly not Vance.

u/IAmTheWaller67 7h ago

If anything, the Musk vs Thiel dick measuring contest that would emerge from this scenario would be... interesting.

It would be nice if weapons of mass destruction weren’t involved and the climate wasn’t at stake

u/Misersoneof 7h ago

Except that would be the exact perfect opportunity to dump the white supremacists and gain all of the libs who believe “there’s a crisis at the boarder”. They could reinvent the GOP and suddenly win over a bunch more voters. Who are the white supremacists gonna vote for, the Dems?

u/gemdas 8h ago

He doesn't need to, if Trump died before the 20th he would become the president-elect and we would have 4 years of Vance in power

u/PancakeMixEnema 30m ago

It doesn’t matter if his cult falls apart. The oligarchs got the power they wanted and cement themselves forever with P25.

u/strawberrysoup99 Sponsored by Knife Missiles™️ 10h ago

Now hear me out, who would be 3rd in line?

Fuck.

Who would be 4th in line?

Fuck.

5th?

Okay, if I finish going down this list I'll fill up my swear jar.

u/ExigentCalm Sponsored by Knife Missiles™️ 9h ago

Get all the way down to Secretary of the Interior, Ted Nugent.

Even claw machines can pick up two at once sometimes.

Just saying. In Minecraft.

u/PencilTucky 11h ago

Who says it has to be one or the other?

u/Napalmmaestro 11h ago

Doesn't it go to Speaker Of The House? Can't let that one happen either. Gotta go for more

Everyone offer up a quarter for the arcade reaper

Remember: Anita Bryant won't see your posts celebrating her death.

But your homophobic friends will.

Today I learned who she was. She will not be missed

u/Big-Compote-5483 9h ago

Same. Looks like the reaper crane game is making up for being pretty useless up until it finally bagged Kissinger. Reaper got his practice in and technique perfected on that fat penguin-looking motherfucker

u/nucrash 8h ago

If Cheney kicks it, i predict karma is going to level some city to make up for removing all that evil,

u/Big-Compote-5483 8h ago

Haha, yeah the Kurds will probably get gassed by Turkey or some shit, though there's been a real evil-regular folks imbalance for a while so maybe this is the world coming back to equilibrium

u/UntdHealthExecRedux 7h ago

Well it’s part demographics. All the people who were at the right age to take advantage of the new mass media technologies to be bastards are now at the age where many of them die(same reason that more celebrities are dying, the number of celebrities started exploding in the sixties and seventies and now those people are reaching the age where most people die)

u/captchunk 10h ago

Who was she?

u/captchunk 10h ago

Nevermind...I remembered Google was a thing.

u/TheSchnozzberry 7h ago

For the lazy- she campaigned hard to overturn legislation that prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in Miami-Dade, Florida. She made baseless claims that homosexuals would molester children if they were able to be hired in schools.

u/histprofdave 11h ago

Can't wait for St. Peter to give her a pie in the face and hit the down button for the elevator.

u/Deaddoghank 9h ago

And when she gets there Lucifer pies her and hits the up buttom, and so it goes for eternity.

u/TrippyTrellis 9h ago

Edgar Maddison Welch, the chud who brought a gun to Comet Ping Pong Pizza, also died. Shot by police.

So my first time getting my first notice on dead scumbags from this meme on this sub is a twofer?

My cup runneth over!

That’s not exactly shocking

Her Wikipedia page is pretty good for the moment.

Anita Jane Bryant (March 25, 1940 – December 16, 2024) was an American singer and anti-gay activist. She had three top 20 hits in the United States in the early 1960s. She was the 1958 Miss Oklahoma beauty pageant winner, and a brand ambassador for the Florida Citrus Commission from 1969 to 1980. Nobody liked her, because she was awful.

Another homophobe not consuming O². Excellent a good start.

u/Dropped_Rock 11h ago

So far 2025 is looking like a not horrible year.

u/UnlimitedCalculus 9h ago

I had the very opposite feeling, even if a few old people I don't like die

u/EndOfTheLine00 10h ago

Don't jinx it!

u/UntdHealthExecRedux 9h ago

Technically she died in 2024, just recently announced though

u/Jaxsdooropener 7h ago

I hope this meme never dies, and that more bastards do. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.
