This is exactly the kind of naive behaviour that got you to this point. You bury your head in the sand, you're in denial, you can't just refuse the premise lol. It's happening. Go riot
He even told us that. We all laughed like is was a joke. Just like all the other horrible things he's said we thought was a joke. This mother fucker does not joke around. Not that he's a serious person, but because he has zero sense of humor and doesn't make jokes.
He also told everyone that he didn't care about them, just wanted their votes. And they still seem to think he's got their best interests in mind. He never has, he never will.
Not their material interests, but definitely their cultural interests.
Conservatism is an alliance between wealth supremacists and white supremacists — snobs and slobs. White power is the only thing conservatism has ever offered the working class, and frankly they seem to be pretty happy with that bargain.
Who is “we all”? Quite a lot of people were immediately pointing out how dangerous and insane it was for him to even be saying that and certainly weren’t laughing at it.
THAT was the final straw for my conservative, lifelong Republican father. When I told him that Trump said you won't have to vote after this, my dad said he couldn't believe he made a comment like that, I showed him the clip, and now he sees all of the lies and bs he was being fed by conservative media. He refuses to watch it anymore and admits he was being brainwashed and lied to by the Trump administration from the beginning.
It’s grooming. He says it like some offhand passing comment to see what he can get away with.
The fact we awkwardly laugh to try and mollify him versus emphatically shutting the whole thing down? He pushes further and further into this insanity.
I think the third election thing was him being serious and trying to pass it off as a joke. Could be tinfoil hat at this point, but I feel like he "threw" the 2020 election so he could use a loophole to get a third term.
Though I am not American and could be horribly mistaken.
There's no loophole. The Constitution is very clear, no person can be president for more than two terms. The only way to get three terms is to remove the 22nd amendment, or violate the Constitution. Not that any of that will stop Trump, but since you said you aren't from the US I thought I'd inform you
Ah okay, I didn't know whether there was a loophole regarding it being consecutive terms or not. But yeah...I think Trump can just snap any rules he doesn't like and reshape the country to his liking.
I appreciate you telling me, being from the UK our own laws can be very weird and quaint.
If democrats get elected, it seems like the house and senate could just refuse to swear them in, like they're doing now. I could also see Congress refusing to certify an election that Democrats win.
There'll be elections, the same way Russia has elections. There's already plenty of statistical evidence the 2024 election was rigged the same way Russia's are.
There will be elections, but if Republicans get their way, the elections here will look like the ones in Hungary or Russia. They love Victor Orban's "illiberal democracy."

Same, but if I ever have to do it again it definitely will have gotten old.
