    Neither does Trump. I don’t know where the argument that he has some kind of Magic Secret Fascism Sauce comes from. Republicans fucking love idiots and have been rabidly supporting them for decades now, and they’ll blindly follow Vance just like they’re blindly following Trump. It could be a sentient mop with a bucket hat, they literally do not care. Trump didn’t win the election, project 2025 did.

      Charisma isn’t a universal thing, it is about appealing to a large chunk of the population but not the population as a while. In this case he has been the face for the fascist MAGA movement for like a decade now with people who constantly ignore how his policies harm them directly and still support him. He has charisma when it comes to hateful morons who want to hear a fat old white dude spout the racist shit in their heads without any kind of moral compass that would lead to being embarrassed.

      They won’t follow Vance because Vance doesn’t have the same belligerent and arrogant delivery despite saying the same hateful stuff because it is clear Vance is a try hard spineless wanna be grifter and not someone who has been an entitled shit their entire lives because they were born into wealth. Vance isn’t the strongman that the Republican party has been stoked to follow.
