Yes, I know fretful democrats have created in Trump such a fearsome boogeyman that they seem confident he’s either going to upload his consciousness into a computer mainframe or assume his final lich-form and rule a totalitarian America for the next thousand years, but here in the real world that’s not actually a possibility. It does make for good fear-mongering among the mopey left however.
His mental decline over the last two years is sufficient to assure that even in the incredibly unlikely case we remove presidential term limits, which requires an amendment to the constitution requiring 2/3rds majorities in both the house and senate and ratification by 3/4ths of state legislatures, he will be in no physical or mental condition to do so. I’m doubtful he’ll even be able to actually complete his full term.
It can happen here. Thinking it can’t is how it does. Hitler’s rise to power wasn’t totally legal either, and people thought it was impossible… and yet it happened.
This isn’t to say it will happen, but it can happen. He doesn’t need an amendment. That’s only required if you pretend like rules and norms are the only way things get done. They’re only as useful as the people willing to stand against him when he breaks them are. If people aren’t ready to stop him then there’s no limits.
And you’re so sure that you’re safe, just because you know you were born in the right place at the right time that can never fall.
Even if it isn’t Trump in the position, their plan is to take over. Yeah, Trump is old. It wouldn’t be the first time an old man has grasped for power and succeeded. You would do well to learn from history and recognize that nothing is permanent, lest you learn to regret not knowing so.
I do not suspect Trump successfully destroys our democracy, but I’m also not so certain in that as to not caution others to make preparations in case they’re necessary. Hopefully they’re not, but it can only hurt to not be ready.
And the best argument you have for lying down is an emoji. That truly shows how weak your position is. Stop pretending like we live in a fairytale that can never end. Live in ignorance, but do not tell others to join you. It can and will end. It’s just a matter of when and by who. I hope now isn’t the time, but everyone should always be prepared in case it is.
I’m sorry. You’re mistaken by which one of us is comedic. Review the comments above. Maybe you’ll come up with a better response the next time you have this conversation.
Showing patience and humility; gentle. Easily imposed on; submissive. Mild of temper; not easily provoked or orritated; patient under injuries; not vain, or haughty, or resentful; forbearing; submissive.
If they can undermine democracy thoroughly enough and have an ailing Trump hand over power to Vance, and never run another free election, it could still become an autocracy. It doesn’t have to be Trump forever for it to be MAGA fascism forever.

Hitler was literally like 30 years younger. You are so scared that you’ve somehow convinced yourself Trump is immortal.

This is like watching someone have an existential crisis in real time. It really is quite amusing. Do more!

Oh zing!! What a sick burn! Do more!
The unfortunate reality is that anything is possible, Republicans are not meek milquetoast bitches like Democrats are
The Republicans are paradoxically incredibly strong and pitifully weak. 🤣

You are delusional.
