Trump is a “once in a generation” level of grifter, much like Putin, Orban or Berlusconi in their respective countries. They somehow resonate with their population deeply, and they exploit this to grab and keep power.
Vance is just a run-of-the-mill second line fascist backed by some rich dudes, plenty to go around in every country. They (luckily) lack the charisma to pull votes in the necessary orders of magnitude to win an election.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
The problem is the longer charismatic authoritarian leader is in power; the easier for the least charismatic authoritarian leader to stay in power.
The charismatic leader is the one who shapes the State to support the authoritarian leader.
Sure, they will be infighting between factions however the day to day running of the government doesn’t grind to a halt.
