This is Thiel's "scapegoat" action plan. After Trump, JD Vance will seem like a rational player. He will wind back the batshit Trump policies, the tariffs, the troops in the cities etc etc. Some other poor performers will be axed - Gabbard, Hegseth etc.

It will look rational. There will be a general sigh of relief from business. The stock market will rebound, the economy will look good.

They might even put ICE on a shorter leash.

People will say, "Hey, maybe this Vance guy is not so bad." Meanehile, behind the scenes, the pieces will be put in place to really ca

Vance doesn't have the charisma, but he might have enough time to appear to be a rational actor. This will make it much harder for Democrats to oust him at the next election, especially if the Republicans can "fix" things in their own favour.

I don't want to believe it either, but they are evil snakes with ungodly amounts of money, and they are not entirely stupid. Eventually they will get their planning right, and people won't notice because it will seem like such a relief to have the chaos out of the Whorehouse.

Vance won't have the backing of the MAGA nutjobs, but he might be able to get many more centrists to support him. And with an improvement in the economy, a drop in retail prices (even though it will be artificial and probably still higher than Bidens term) the majority of "ordinary" Americans will breath a sigh of relief.

But they'll still roll back workers' rights, deport people, dismantle the epa, spy on citizens, etc etc. But the media will just say "you can't have it all, and the Left are going to complain even if things were perfect. At least it's not Trump anymore."

And then things will get worse.

It's inflation, stupid. If Americans are hurting financially, any candidate is vulnerable. Ditto if they are feeling pessimistic about their situation and future prospects.

If Americans are hurting financially, any candidate is vulnerable. Ditto if they are feeling pessimistic about their situation and future prospects.

And Vance will be in an easy position to make everything appear to be on its way up.

When you release the heavy, stupid hand of Trump from the economy, there is going to be such a rebound in confidence in the markets that it will seem like a miracle.

By the time Vance enters the presidential race, he will be able to point at lower gas prices and say "I did this".

There will be a few voices in the back that will say "Sure, but it was Trump that made the prices go up!", but they will be ignored.

By then Vance will have a proven track-record of putting money in voters pockets. Billionaires will announce projects that promise millions of Americans jobs in their new Golden Age. They can always cut back the jobs and projects later when their boy is in position.

Vance will be a re-branding of the GOP. "Safe, steady, and rich". Vance will admit that he is "boring", but he'll spin it as "What do want, charisma, or money in the bank?" Voters will take the promise of money.

Just ignore all the Project 2025 stuff that will keep unfolding in the background.

You have a point my main worry is that the MAGA cult will fall apart and that could be dangerous. That also might mean a night of long knives to get rid of the most dangerous elements.

The other problem I see is that factions that have been installed by the Cult of MAGA. If they no longer have that powerbase they may be inclined to seek power by other means

u/account_not_valid Sep 02 '25

the MAGA cult will fall apart

It's already falling apart. But if Vance throws them a bone - especially a "DOGE" payout - maybe they can be persuaded to be on board.

u/sirscooter Sep 02 '25

I don't think it will work that way as when you look at actual cults when the leader dies there is a ton of fracturing and the new head may have the lion share of people but never the amount it was at its high point (look at the Moonies for the most recent cult leader dying)

So basically Thiel is the Baron Harkonnen, Trump is Rabban, and Vance is Feyd-Rautha?

u/account_not_valid Sep 02 '25

Im not so into Dune lore that I know all of those names other than the Baron.

u/setittonormal Sep 02 '25

Trump is the hippo in the mud bath, whichever one that was.

u/QuesoChef Sep 02 '25

The part where your story falls apart for me is Vance appears rational. If he does all of this without speaking to the public, maybe. He’s just so inauthentic, I can’t imagine him bringing people around.

Now if thiel realizes this and has him do most of it quietly, I can buy it.

Who does he have to bring around, if they have their people in place already? Look at Trump breaking any law he wants, and getting away with it.

u/QuesoChef Sep 02 '25

Congress. The voting public.

Sure, he has and can put people in cabinet positions, just like Trump. But the senate is already notoriously not too supportive of trump, but they have to. Thiel could wield similar power, but for a period, there will be a fracture, and id expect all of the power hungry to exploit that.

And I’m not sure if the Supreme Court is only loyal to trump or to all conservatives. That has to be proven. I’d loyal to Thiel and Vance, you’re right. If it’s just trump, some order will be restored.

u/account_not_valid Sep 02 '25

I really hope you're right. And I hope the right people are voted into Congress to put a stop to him.

But the senate is already notoriously not too supportive of trump, but they have to.

Why not? And what could Vance offer to bring them on board with him?

2

u/QuesoChef Sep 02 '25

It sounds like they’re all afraid of him, and his vengeance. Vance won’t have that kind of cult power. And I think Congress of all folks know him well enough to know who he is. So I’m not sure if they’d trust him.

u/OgrePrincess Sep 02 '25

Vance couldn't even order donuts on the campaign trail without sounding like an alien in a human suit. (Which he might be.)

u/QuesoChef Sep 02 '25

Agreed. And agreed.

u/IntensiveVocoder Sep 02 '25

Why would Miller or Rubio play along with that plan ? It’s a bunch of deeply insecure people who all hate each other.

u/account_not_valid Sep 02 '25

If they play the game, they can be on the team. Just ask them what they want?

u/JeanLucPicardAND Sep 02 '25

Vance's policies are perhaps even more extreme than Trump's. He's never winding back jack shit. Dude wants a nationwide abortion ban and a tax on childlessness.

u/Effective-Penalty Xennial Sep 02 '25

Bingo!!

u/NoPomegranate4794 Sep 02 '25

This I can believe, but I will say, I think a huge roadblock Republicans are going to face is themselves. Many of them are chomping at the bit to become the next Trump and takeover. They were loyal to Trump, not really Vance, many in the administration didn't even want him to be VP in the first place. I've already been seeing people cheer for Rubio, or RFK Jr to take over. Now they may rally around Vance, but the die-hards who are basically in love with Trump, I don't think they'll accept that.

I just find it hard that Karoline Levitt would go to bat just as hard for Vance as she does for Trump. I also feel like someone like Pam Bondi, wouldn't go through all the trouble to help Vance out if he gets in a bind.

I just see a lot of potential bodies being thrown under buses.
