True. I have trouble imagining how anyone could like him, let alone worship him.

JD is disliked in every quarter except Peter Thiel-Land. And you all are right: he has negative charisma and could never galvanize or mesmerize anyone for any reason. He is a puppet and power-sniffer. Also terminally insecure and will never fully align his shitty upbringing with what he wants to portray.

Please read George Packer’s profile of Vance in the latest Atlantic.

Thats why Trump picked him. No competition for center stage.

His puppet-ness is the key, though, meryl. He'd be a willing placeholder for Thiel and Vought to wreak all the damage they want. IOW, complete the implementation of Project 2025. No stumbles, no distractions, no chickening out. No pathological narcissist to placate. In the end, maybe even worse than tRump, as high a bar as that is.
