In any way he can, he will retain power this time. He's said it himself.

If he is able to break the 14th ammendment he can break the 22nd ammendment

I don't have high hopes for the mid-terms, but we still need to get the word out. Though I also have doubts there will be actual elections in 2028 if things go very badly.

I mean Putin is never leaving, why would his lackey. I'm sure our elections are/will be totally free and open

No. If he tries it, then it’s war.

We need state and local police to turn on Ice. Trumps message telling police to "surrender"... Push that shit into the ears of every cop. They are Trumps enemy now.

Do me a favour. I'm assuming you are american. If you are, and if you get the midterm elections in just two years, then make sure you get out there and vote this time. Convince a couple of other eligible americans to vote in a sensible way at the midterms as well.

There is a primary for the midterms too often. Make sure to vote in primaries to weed out corprate shill politicians

This sounds important. If they can get better people to vote for that would be great.

He wants a Trump dynasty, he wants his kids to take office after him.

Extensions will not keep him from becoming senile and even stupider.

Gotta love the people who think trump is the cause and not the symptom.

I hate being that guy, but I've been saying something similar. Already trying to mess with the Constitution on day one, and who knows what else TrumpleOrangeSkin has in store for the coming days, weeks, and months.

Neither the president nor the Supremes can alter the constitution. The 22nd amendment can only be changed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, and then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states. My money is on the constitution.

Your money is on the document whose enforcement is explicitly charged to the guy who just won an election based on a platform of 'you won't have to vote anymore'?

Trump is exempt from the rule of law for any official acts he chooses to make. Who are you expecting to stop him?

Stop obeying in advance, OP.

Someone ring the dipshit bell. That's not at all what op is saying.

OP is resigning themselves to a preconceived fate. That is obeying in advance; anticipating what they want and preparing to give it to them.

And you'd still be preparing to vote in 4 years, so who is obeying here exactly? Pay attention.

Recognizing a threat and obeying in advance aren’t the same thing.

Correct, but this isn't 'recognizing' a threat. It's not saying it could/might happen, it's saying it WILL happen.
