Tubbo’s face when Tommy was telling Sam that he thinks Sam should be Vice President/would make a great Vice President sent me.

Tubbo could not disagree more, he’s definitely not over what Sam did to Micheal and Ranboo.

I’m convinced that if it weren’t for Tommy, Tubbo would have obliterated Sam if he came across him alone.

how long does it take for the syndicate to find sam? (convict childcare au) and at that point how attached is dream to michael and how obvious is it?

So, you've made a key incorrect assumption here that the syndicate finds c!Sam, c!Dream, and Michael at around the same time.

I'm still deciding on how long it takes them to find Sam, but 3 months at least. Probably on the order of 4-6 months. It's a longass time, particularly for Michael whose still a toddler. The syndicate does find Sam before the rest of the server finds anyone, which is great, but the rest of the server isn't too far behind.

In that time, Michael has become very attached to Dream. Dream has been the only point of safety, stability, and care in his life for most of what he can remember. Dream was the first person to teach him sign (Tubbo and c!Ranboo tried, but at the time Michael couldn't manage due to decay from the zombification). Dream also connects and communicates really well with Michael's piglin instinct. Dream has also done a pretty good job keeping Michael fed, entertained, and distracted from their shared fear of Sam. Hell, Dream even did his best as time wore on to hide the abuse he was experiencing from Michael. Both so Michael wouldn't be scared, but also because Dream was hoping if Michael wasn't scared of Sam then Sam would be less likely to hurt Michael on the off chance Dream ended up dead or unable to care for him.

So Michael is very attached to Dream and Dream....

Dream is attached in his own ways, but he's also realistic. He took care of Michael as best he could, and clearly he did somewhat okay despite his circumstances. But Dream isn't capable of raising a child. He knows himself well enough to admit that. As far as he knows, Michael is some random kid that Sam grabbed for seemingly no reason. If Dream tries to take care of him, even if he could somehow overcome his serious physical and mental issues, then Sam is just going to tell people from the SMP and they'll use Michael against him. The best option he can see is Michael gets a new family far away, and nobody else ever finds out that Dream cared about him.

That's Dream's goal in this situation. Shove his own pain in a box, and keep it firmly there until Michael is safely away and he can shatter.
