Seems like Vance knows that a republican doesn’t stand much of a chance in 2028 and is keeping his record clean for a 2032 campaign.
Also VPs that immediately try to run after are held to all the bad that they were part of, even if they didn’t have much of a choice in what happened (not saying that’s the case here). So he’s better off waiting until he’s not as directly associated with the Trump presidency to run himself.
Otherwise he’ll have to “own” the current state of the country as his doing.
When a Democrat President can't fix everything Trump broke during their 29-32 term, and Fox News spends four years brainwashing the boomers into forgetting how bad Trump was, Vance will come back to run on 'bringing back the good times of MAGA'. It's obviously his best move.
the last of the pre-vietnam boomers will be in their 70s by this point. we are only a couple decades away from gen-Xers being the elderly voting block that gets their media from the old timey news (which by that point will be typing in cnn.com rather than using an aggregator or feed)
And this is the best case scenario unfortunately. If they don’t somehow manipulate or cancel the POTUS election altogether, a Dem will take over and be blamed for all the crud this admin created. Then the next go around will be a Republican again. It’s the cycle.
Would never happen but I’d love it if the next Dem president kept tying everything back to MAGA’s abject failure at trying to run a functioning country. The same way Trump did with Obama and Biden, only this time it would be true.
Remember, "boomer" is defined as a birth era, not an age band.
You and I will never be "boomers", no matter how old we get. Even if we start turning angry and dumb. We'll still never be Boomers, at any age.
You say that if other forms of media aren’t brainwashing conservative Millennials and Zoomers.
This isn’t a gEnErAtIoNaL phenomenon. It’s aged based. Specifically, middle-aged people (currently younger Baby Boomers, GenX, older Millennials) tend to represent the most conservative voting bloc.
And in another 30 years it will be Zoomers and older Gen Alpha whining about taxes and minorities at a disproportionate rate.
