The unspoken part of that is Vance likely thinks that the people should fear their government.

True.

It's a very unwise position Vance takes.

The world would clearly be better run if all governments feared their people, than it would if all people fear their governments.

The UK can pull this kind of stuff precisely because they do not fear any consequences from their people.

This sounds more like what you want to be true than anything. Your comment reveals nothing of JD Vance, and a lot about your own biases.

He likened Trump to Hitler and then ran with him. That reveals everything about Vance.

Unlike your comment, obviously.
