Trump may not last a year, but Democrats can't truly fix things for a few more years (as they've done time and again). Vance will do just as much harm and probably get himself impeached by the Democratic Congress (thank you midterms). We'll be lucky if WWIII hasn't grown into a full nuclear blown conflict by then. So the sooner Democrats take charge and bring order, the better. For everyone.
