107. I don't think it will work.
Tue Apr 21, 2026, 04:59 PM

Vance has very little charisma, and I can't see him denouncing Old Colostomy.

The red-hat movement can dominate a primary, but in many places, it's no longer big enough to carry a general election - and that's if it stays together. And it's not likely to stay together.

Whether this will lead to long-term positive change in the US remains to be seen, but in the short term, the movement/cult will fall apart once the windbag leading it is gone.
