Worrying section from this Observer article:

“We have had the police knocking on every door,” said a dog walker and resident of Dean, as a helicopter buzzed overhead. “They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused. We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people.”

    The inability of our government to ever tell America to fuck off is deeply troubling, because WTAF!

    Vance is a lot more dangerous than Trump is. Trump is a useful idiot, but Vance knows what’s really up.

        The next US elections are going to be heavily rigged - I dont think it matters how popular or significant Vance is. You are right, though - Vance is 10x worse than Trump.

          It matters because a charismatic strongman is necessary to keep MAGA marching in the same direction; that’s how fascism works. Vance just doesn’t have it in him to be that.

      Agreed.

      Trump is a moron who’s controlled by the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation, who happens to have inexplicable popularity. Vance is as charismatic as a used tampon, but he’s intelligent and wily. If he ever takes control of the US Reich and manages to stay in power using fear, he’ll unleash the true Nazi hell on this land.

      Vance is an utter moron and a puppet. The really powerful people are pulling the strings from backstage.
