Democrats have been saying exactly the same since Bush Junior was elected: "OMG, this will surely become an autocracy by the end of his mandate! There's no way we will ever have democratic elections again!" Really, I don't like Trump, I think he is a buffoon, but Democrats are so tiresome, calling wolf every time they don't get what they want. I know toddlers with more self restrain.

Trump himself, out of his own mouth, with his own tongue, using the air from the breathe inside his lungs, has literally and explicitly with no ambiguities said on multiple occasions that he wants to violate the constitution and have a third term. Republican leaders are humoring the idea.

  And many people seem to have collective amnesia about the January 6 Capitol riots, the Trump-Raffensperger phone call, the fake electors plot, etc. Trump has shown us many times who he is, and yet somehow many conservatives still refuse to believe the evidence that is right in front of their eyes.

    It's not that conservatives don't believe -- it's that they don't care. Winning > rule of law Which I blame solely on conservative talk radio's lack of morals, and inspiring the same in their listenership.

  You mentioned there are multiple occasions: You got a quote on that? I did a quick Google search, but the most recent events are hogging up the results and I didn't hear anything literal about him saying what you claim he was saying. If you're referring to the most recent question asked by a reporter, what you're saying is false -- there was nothing literal or explicit about it. The specific text in the 22nd Amendment states: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once" Key word is "ELECTED," (the loophole) but this is up for debate as the intent of the amendment.

    It wasn't up for debate with the last 12 presidents...

You're not paying attention. Doesn't matter what was said before. It matters what the Trump administration is doing this time. I wasn't saying this after Trump won the election. It was everything he's done since taking office.
