      3/10 of our neighbors want a dictatorship.

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

    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.

      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.

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

        Lies, damned lies and statistics

    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.”

      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.

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

    Just sayin’…

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

    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…

    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.

    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.

      The media has blatantly enabled this MFer for years by doing the whole ‘people are saying’ BS. Just STOP. Don’t repeat it. State that it’s illegal and impossible, and would be unconstitutional, and then stop.

      They’ve already normalised the idea enough that they’re polling people about whether or not it should happen as if it’s a totally valid question to ask. That shouldn’t even be a question, the only response should be “no, fuck off, you can’t do that”. Once again the media are complicit in sanewashing and normalising this shit.

      Nine ways from Sunday. I’m actually more surprised when I do have hope because the vast majority of the time I believe it is quite hopeless.
