Linked National Post on purpose. Given their bias I believe they’d present the worst case scenario.

E: Apparently the article is from 2016 so the cost is likely higher today.

    Do you mean Thiel?

    Vance may be much smarter than Trump (low bar) and have actual plans for evil, vs. doing awful things on a whim. But, JD Vance doesn’t have Trump’s cult of personality. Whoever comes after Trump will return to the same normal relationship that a president has with their party. With the modern GOP that means intense squabbling and infighting. I doubt a president Vance could get much if his evil plan passed, even if the GOP did still control all the branches of government.
