Oh yeah, I forgot that Trump famously said he doesn’t want to be president for life, remove term limits, make sure this is the last US election, etcetera, et-fucking-cetera. And what guardrails do you propose there are against that now?
… We the people… Remember that one? The only things that give Trump power are a piece of paper and US citizens. That piece of paper doesn’t do much once people turn against him. I don’t like Trump, but I also have a non-zero amount of faith in our government’s structure. Next four years will probably be a downhill slide, but then there will be a rebound candidate elected in 4 years. If people in Congress vote in favor of all these ridiculously extreme amendments like you are saying they will, normal Americans will kick them out of office. Now the filibuster seems like a pretty good thing, huh?
That part took 10 years to evolve. He was elected in 1933, he wasn’t out of the picture until 1945.
12 years of evolving fascism, it’s an exponential curve.
And since Trump is gone in 4, the only way this curve continues is if the American people say so. Trump isn’t the problem.
