They were always going to lose. It’d be nice if JD Vance had his presidential ambitions killed by being part of this administration, but he’s been portrayed as uninvolved and unhappy with the war.
Hopefully the coming economic impacts will override any good will he could hope to cultivate. Normally the GOP would be walled from Executive office for at least 8 years, provided the Dems can put forward a non-geriatric candidate, maybe 12-16 if they could keep voters happy.
Super unlikely to see anything other than civil unrest and strife for the next 5-10 years. The Far Right has been pushing for a new civil war, and economic conditions will be bad enough that they might get their wish. Worst case scenario, America won’t exist in 10-15 years.

Not many public statements to that effect, and if his story is “I had a vibes-based opposition to all the unpopular things the president did” he should see how well that worked for Kamala

I feel like as long as we have a stupidly huge nuclear arsenal, “The United States of America” will continue to exist in some form. I think there is going to be more strife in the near term, but longer term I think we will eventually land in a new New Deal type of place because you can only piss off like >70% of people for so long before everything breaks down on you. Peasant anger is contagious and historically more destructive than the nobles ever think it is.
