There's no need for a third term if the second term goes forever and never ends.

Just sayin'.....

So 3 out of 10 are considered traitors?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

3/10 of our neighbors want a dictatorship.

Good to know they'll be outnumbered when we have to shoot them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

It’s always that 30% of people who are just the worst and dragging the rest of the species down…

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Lmao. Great way to normalize ignoring your constitution.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Three of those people are below average in intelligence and the forth can't be bothered to vote (fuck you most of all).

Everyone else congratulate yourselves for having a somewhat functioning brain. Unlike MAGAts, who shouldn't be allowed to operate vehicles in public or even run side-of-the-road fruit stands. At least the swastikas, I mean red hats, make it easy to point them out...

Or as Trumps puts it:

"Everyone wants me to. They all say what a great idea it would be. They say 'sir..sir...we need you.' Tears streaming down their faces, 'sir please...only you have the ability to make us great again. Tremendous ability, they say. Probably the most tremendous ever if I'm being honest."

@Adderbox76 A pure narcissist speaking

Only 70% of Americans can be bothered to give a fuck about the most basic, non-debatable aspect of our Constitution.

Yeah, we're fucked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, the headline should be reversed so as not to bury the lede. A full 30% of Americans want to throw out the constitutional guardrails and basic limitations on power that keep us a republic and not an autocracy. That's a terrifying figure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

30% of those interviewed that responded to the poll with usable data.

Lies, damned lies and statistics

It's unbelievably disgusting to me that these cretins humor his obvious fascism. Every American has known for 200 fucking years that you can get two terms as president and then you're done... until one of the biggest conmen in history got the job, now rules don't matter.

Is this tongue-in-cheek? FDR had four terms, and the 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951 in response.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm rather hoping he strokes out before the end of this one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My concern with this is the fact that if he does... they'll throw a shit fit and say Couchfucker McGuyliner deserves four full years and elections will be postponed to allow that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

IIRC, there is actually already a law on how that is supposed to play out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

My grandmother who has a Trump cutout unironically does not want him to run again. She says he's had a good run but is too old now let alone in 3 years.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My god, why are we even entertaining this?

He CANNOT have a third term.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Legally, or physically?

Ceasers army also can’t cross the rubicon

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

So 3/10 want him to run for a third term?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The 3/10s of the population that voted and won

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup. The non-voters had a choice between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil and felt "sending a message" was more important.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Nah most of them just don't give a shit or know what the hell is going on. As long as they have their Netflix and fast food slop they're good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

3 of 10? Sounds like a majority by Trumpy/Republican math.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that should have been the headline.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Link to the data if you didn’t make it to the bottom

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: keep the parts you like and throw out the rest.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: Cant be bothered to read it, gladly accepts someone else's interpretation.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't believe 3 in 10 want him to overthrow the constitution. We're a deeply unserious nation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I think they're serious.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

The fact that it isn't 10/10 people disgusts me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

? in 10 are aware that if Trump were to have a 3rd term it wouldn't be the result of an election.
