Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.

      I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They’ll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.

        The Cheeto is definitely a cult of personality, and I suspect it will be harder to rally all conservatives behind his replacement. Cult leaders dying can solidify a cult if done correctly (Scientology), but it’s also quite likely that it dissolves.

        Is he really capable of leading the party he’s always struck me as the sort of person that would get out of depth in a slightly melted ice cube. Trump gets away with it because he just says it all does something ridiculous and then the story moves on to that. Vance doesn’t really command the kind of following they need.

      Pedo king is fitting.

      Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.

        So we need some sort of …red army…?

        Shit is the Russian Revolution a better model for what America’s upcoming period of political violence looks like? Because the “Second Civil War” invokes ideas of a clean boundary between belligerents, akin to the North/South. But it’s obvious that it won’t be like that this time, and until now I hadn’t considered Russia as a better example.
