JD Vance, who once said that Trump was “America’s Hitler,” kneeled before the Mar-a-Lago miracle master who anointed him as the vice presidential candidate.
Since his election to the Senate in 2022, Vance has been a fierce and unapologetic defender of Trump’s most false statements. He who never misses an opportunity to show his submission and loyalty to him, is not in trouble and his next to opposite.
Vance believes that America needs a regime change. It’s her turn! For decades, Washington has imposed – or tried to impose – everywhere on the planet, from Chile to Afghanistan through Iran. Vance is convinced that his and Trump’s election is the only hope to save the United States. But he doesn’t believe four more years under Trump will be enough to change things.
For him, the American political class has proven incapable of overturning the “fundamental stagnation at the heart of American society”. Vance’s conviction about the decline of the American Empire allows us to understand his political project that goes far beyond Trump’s.
De Gaulle and the American presidential election
JD Vance wants to be a leader like Charles de Gaulle, ready to change the entire American constitution. When the journalist Ian Ward was of Politics When asked if there were any historical figures who inspired him, he said that he thought a lot about Charles de Gaulle. He rewrote the constitution (Fifth Republic) to expand the executive power of the president to save France. Vance doesn’t think de Gaulle was 100% successful: “He solved a lot of problems and alleviated them, but he didn’t fundamentally reverse the decline of France.”
According to Vance, the future Trump administration will have to manage a declining empire. He says the United States has entered a “late republican period,” a reference to the decline of the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC. AD
A graduate of Yale University, where Ontario conservative MP Jamil Jivani was his colleague, Vance is the standard bearer of the new American right, young conservatives who want to seize the ideological revolution that Trump spawned: nationalism , hard line on immigration , Great Replacement theory, and opposition to US involvement in foreign conflicts.
JD Vance: be careful, danger!
For the new right, Trumpism is just the first step in a populist-nationalist revolution that aims to transform all of America. They believe that the United States is in as desperate a situation as Germany in 1933.
Attention! Trump is no longer dealing as vice president with an insignificant conservative like Mike Pence, but with an ideologue who is smarter, more informed, more articulate and more determined than himself.
If both are elected, JD Vance will clearly not be to Trump what Kamala Harris was to Biden: a discreet stooge with a detached speech. Vance will want his place in the sun…and on the microphone. Trump will accept humility. There is a lot of trouble ahead in the Oval Office.
