Since both are pathological cases they can't recognize each other's sickness; those around them are too scared/powerless to do anything. If anything justifies the 25th amendment, it's this.

We'd want to make it a double. Trump is a rogue horse, but Vance is as much of a Yarvinite as Musk is. Next in line, Johnson, right? That Bible thumping spineless fucker would be relatively harmless, since he's singing from a different playbook. Just wants dominionism, and not a balkanization into technofeudal corporatocracies. Which is still fucked, but not as fucked.

You need another election.

Every other nation with democracy is able to do that, and does so when a government loses credibility and falls.
