- sva_ 1y agoHe will already have serves his second (and therefore last) term, or what do you mean?
- nullhole 1y agoProbably this: https://www.trumpstore.com/product/trump-2028-hat/ https://www.trumpstore.com/product/trump-2028-hat/
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoHuh, that page actually seems to admit that the third term is not valid: > Rewrite the rules with the Trump 2028 high crown hat. Or perhaps I misunderstand what they mean with "rewrite the rules".
- r5Khe 1y agoThey know it's not valid. That's why they want to rewrite the rules.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoSure, but it’s still couched in legal theory that seeks to legitimize it. That phrasing suggests the rules need to be changed to legitimize it, which tracks with my understanding but not the rhetoric.
- segfaultex 1y agoTrump has repeatedly asserted he wants to run for a "third term" and his base worship him. His electorate's beliefs are whatever he tells them they are. The same is true for the Republican Party. Trump is effectively free to ignore the constitution without consequence.
- thinkcontext 1y agoI took it to mean whoever succeeds him could be just as bad.
- Rudybega 1y agoHe has spoken repeatedly about running for a third term.
- HEmanZ 1y agoI find it unlikely but… Much of my extended family would absolutely join a civil war on side Trump to get him into a permanent position of power if given the opportunity. Some of them are in the military. So it’s not unreasonable by world history standards that he could get a subset of the military on his side in a coup scenario. I think people in large urban centers or outside of the US don’t realize how much certain parts of the country truly worship him above anything else. I know many people like this, I have to see them at family events, so you can’t tell me it’s an exaggeration. I’m not sure there are enough to do anything substantial, but the seeds are there.
- yoyohello13 1y agoYeah the amount of people I heard praising God when he was elected was disturbing. People literally believe he is a messiah. It's terrifying.
- goatlover 1y agoI hope they realize how profoundly un-American it would be to fight a civil war to install a king/dictator in power.
- kccoder 1y agoThey don’t/won’t.
- h4ck_th3_pl4n3t 1y agoYou are assuming Trump will step down? You are quite naive, aren't you? Martial law will be declared, for whatever reason they can come up with. Maybe the "invasion" excuse again, maybe Greenland, maybe Canada, maybe Mexico. But one thing is sure: Trump will be the last president of this democracy iteration.
- Aeolun 1y agoYou do realize that the last time he was voted out an angry crowd literally stormed the capitol to overturn the election? What more can they do with better preparation?
- pstuart 1y agoTheir goal is for forever+ years. Shit needs to get ugly fast enough to make the masses take notice or they may just get their way.
