This is why I doubt anything would happen within the first few years at least of a 2nd Trump presidency, he's a very useful idiot for the GOP. With him occupying the spotlight Vance and others are free to start implementing Project 2025 in the shadows. They're probably banking on Trump sliding hard enough into dementia to trigger the democrats to invoke the 25th, then they'll "reluctantly agree" to remove Trump for the health of the nation or some other BS. But it can't be too fast, otherwise Trump will turn his cult against the GOP. They pretty much have to wait until he's too invalid to use twitter
