      When a fascist “jokes” about taking and keeping more power, they’re not joking. They’re absolutely serious.

      He wouldn’t have to be elected again. He lost the vote last time and still tried to launch an insurrection to overthrow the legitimate government and maintain power. He’s learned a lot since that failed attempt. He’s dismantling the government and the checks and balances by the day. There won’t be anything left to stop him in 4 years. He will not leave willingly.

          Even you don’t believe that.

          Nobody here is going to play along, so I don’t even know what you think you’re doing. Getting “persecution points?”

          he literally did, definitionally he launched a failed coup. At the very least an attempted insurrection.

          He did the same thing Hillary did in the election before that.

          complete disinformation, hillary contested the results, which is a thing you are legally entitled to doing (she later retracted that statement publicly) trump has NEVER once retracted his statement, he STILL says it was stolen.

      I’m pretty sure it’s just another distraction and nothing more. Plus, he’s already pretty much a babbling idiot, he’ll likely be a vegetable in four years.

      They’d have to somehow keep Obama from running, so they can’t just say “third term”. It would have to be jerry-rigged to hell to let Trump run but keep Obama out.
