I believe I responded to the other comment you mentioned.
That this was even purposed is a dangerous attempt to test the waters or perhaps just distract from everything else that is going on while also giving those loyal to Trump to show that publicly with low risk. This is not normal.
This seems like theater, though not without potential harm. An amendment tailored made to exempt only Trump from the 22nd amendment would be an odd one to see ratified by 75% of the states.
To clarify, you think Obama being on the ballot would be the last straw before violent uprising against or violent repression by the existing administration? Or the removal of term limits?
I agree with most of this. I would rather have seen Bernie in 2016, but timeline jokes aside, we got what we got. I am not trying to ignore the past so much as look to the future.
Even some of the most established dictatorship and oligarchy governments in the world still have elections, though they are probably not free or fair in all cases. So, yes, I think there will be an election of some sort in 2028, if only to assuage the international community. I admit that I could be wrong, and that the possibility is very scary.
Legitimate question: if there is a change to the term limits on the office of POTUS, passed by GOP to enable another Trump run, wouldn’t that also allow Obama to run again? If yes, what are the pros and cons of this? Just trying to game this out.
This is the community chalkboard that was built following the 2017 clash of Unite the Right rally protesters and counterprotesters that ended up with a vehicle being driven into a crowd, killing one and causing severe injuries to 35 others, as well as 14 other injuries unrelated to the vehicular attack. 2 state troopers also died in a crash of a helicopter related to the events.
