If you don't believe he'll find a way to get a third term like every other dictator, you're living in a fantasy.

If you don't believe he'll find a way to get a third term like every other dictator, you're living in a fantasy.
- crackrook 2y agoDo you truly believe this will happen? I know these are crazy times but the idea of a then-82 year old man realizing a third term for himself seems a little absurd to me. Or do you mean this in a less literal sense, e.g. in the sense that he'll get a figurative "third term" by handing the reigns over to someone in his club without a fair election?
- nprateem 2y agoNo I mean literally. Or he'll do what putin did and find a puppet to take the reigns for a term. He knows without presidential immunity he risks prison. And he has previous for trying to steal an election. I have no doubt he'll see to it that he never faces the risk of prison, and this is the most obvious way to go. That and he's clearly a power hungry megalomaniac. I think it'd be more informative to ask why he wouldn't try to get this.
