Can’t say the same about Pam Bondi, Joe Rogan, or Nick Fuentes. Hell, Vance’s position is entirely due to the cult of personality around Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. And then you’ve got Bari Weiss stuffing CBS full of her Free Press friends, for the singular purpose of making neoconservativism cool again.
You barely even need to be popular on those terms. You just need someone willing to churn out a mind-shattering level of media slop on the eve of some pivotal political moment (election, court decision, riot, coup, what-the-fuck-ever). JD Vance could be President in four years, purely on the grounds that a majority of states are replacing majority selection of the electoral college with appointment by state senators.
And then what are you going to do about it except move to Canada/Mexico (assuming we haven’t annexed them already) or pound sand?
No, but nobody is out there making JD Vance their entire personality.
