Then have Obama run against him.
That's adorable how you think there might ever be another free and fair election in the US.
Well we made it through one civil war...
Did you though?
Dumbfucks are still waving the confederate flag, so ya, ol’ Ulysses didn’t quite finish the job
It should be clear by now that any "rule" the Trump administration comes up with only applies to themselves.
Just like school-age kids who make up rules to their advantage every 5 seconds.
They just have to say that as long as you haven't served two consecutive terms you're still eligible.
NoT tHaT wAy!!!
You think they'll be an election? Ha!
There will be an election. Even Putin has elections. But they will be neither free nor fair.
50 state governments administer the election independently in each state.
Civil war 2?
I'm 50/50 on this. I think it will depend on if we're in a full out WW3 by then. But you are correct. It's important the illusion of democracy continues. It's been an illusion for most of American history though.
Didn't need any foreign wars to trigger the first civil war.
The Civil war is not the historical comparison to make. This is significantly more similar to Italy under Mussolini or Germany under Hitler. There is no clear state divide and geographical boundary set like that today. There is absolutely no chance of a Civil War.
Look at the leaders of every blue state trying to find their position in the new fascist state we have. Gavin Newsom being the most obvious example.
They will allow the purge of what the fascist consider "undesirables" from their state as long as they keep their position in the ruling class safe.
There will be no civil war. The only war to be fought within America is a class war.
Every social media platform has these kind of answers. As of Obama would even desire a third term, he isn't an egomania admirer like Donald Trump. Barack Obama is an intelligent, thoughtful, moral leader who values education and understanding. He isn't a entertainer who values wrecking humanism and creating maximum content animation for news networks and social media consumers to react-comment to.
It's just a thought experiment to imagine MAGA heads exploding. Trump is only talking about it to distract from the Signal scandal.
Fantasy. Simulacra. MAGA is death-wishing people that disagree with Elon Musk and Donald Trump values and leadership. Pretty much the entire nation is adopting death-wishing and social machine conventions of mass dehumanization. Trending towards more and more self-destruction as a nation.
Not sure what your point is and I'm not interested.
Repeating: "MAGA is death-wishing people that disagree with Elon Musk and Donald Trump values and leadership."
And you see value in using Lemmy social machine systems to announce that you are not interested. That in itself says a lot about the current state of affairs.
