  That doesn’t matter: Chávez was the charismatic revolutionary, Maduro is his unloved but definitely authoritarian successor.

  Trump is the charismatic “leader” who got the whole shitshow going, and Vance is ideally placed to entrench the dictatorship, because he won’t need any charisma to do that.

  Although on a personal note, I really fail to see what sort of charisma this crooked crass New York slick his fans can possibly find in him. I really don’t.

    He says all the terrible shit that they want to say, but society hasn’t allowed them to (because basic human decency).

    You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers rednecks. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.
