This year Trump is going to either suspend elections, or more likely, send thousands of ICE troops to interfere with voting in cities in purple states. Swing a few statewide elections his way.
In a couple years, assuming he’s not dead, his stolen Senate and the cowardly bootlickers in congress will attempt to create legislative cover for this “third term”. They don’t have the juice to repeal a constitutional amendment but it won’t matter. They’ll play act at legislating to give Fox News some sound bites and tell everybody Trump deserves a third term because he’s the biggest, bestest good boy in the whole world.
The only remaining question is if everyday Americans have enough sense and strength to stop them. Impressed as I am by some of the folks out there now… I doubt it.
He’s definitely laying the groundwork for stopping the elections, though I don’t think he’ll succeed (but sadly he may). However, I believe we’ll have economic collapse before he has a chance to run for a third term, and it may come as early as this fall.
Which is by design. It’s why to GOP is going after mail in votes and why polling places have been disappearing. It’s why election day will never be a holiday. They want in to suck to vote. They want you in line for hours without food or water.. They want you to have to arrange time off of work to do so. They purge voter rolls. Etc… Etc.
It’s easy to blame individuals for systemic problems and call it a day, but you lose out on some nuance at best and some major issues in reality.
We know what’s going to happen next.

Everyday Americans can’t even be bothered to fucking vote in the general election, let alone primaries. Embarrassing.

and also rig the machines, multiple times russians, musk has been hacking the voting machines they have used.
That explains some people not voting. It doesn’t explain a full third.
Some people are just fucking lazy and they need to be shamed for it. We should attempt to fix all the issues.
