Does everyone remember during Trump’s first presidency, President Xi had just made himself president for life. Trump brought this up at a rally and said “maybe we should try that” and the crowd cheered. It was never a joke. Everything he says is testing the waters to see what reaction he’ll get. Now there’s a group trying to get him elected to a 3rd term. I think a Republican congressman or two is also pushing for this.

Remember the progression with his election denial as well.
Jan. 6, 2021 and there were just a handful of plants who would try to object to the counting, before all hell broke loose, while the rest think they’re being savvy and staying in their base’s good graces while not taking flak by not denouncing it. Four years later, and they don’t bat an eye when the literal insurrectionists that nearly killed them are all pardoned, and nobody will even go on record calling it anything but Trump’s version.
By 2028, expect to see lockstep party agreement on this, as well as plans to actually do it - whether allowed or not - already well underway.
Turns out it’s nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you’ve got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has often stood against him and is now. He thought he could buy them, you thought he could buy them, they don’t agree with either of you.
“Rewrite the rules” is a clear campaign slogan.
This is a HARD line for me. This fucker doesn’t get to run again.
As an adjudicated insurrectionist, he’s disqualified under the 14th amendment from holding his office. We’re already past that line.
