Are you arguing that they should have Dictatorialized while having the chance?

I think it would require a constitutional amendment and the trifecta can't do that, AFAIK

Greenman said:

Quite the contrary. I'm saying you wanted democracy as long as it was the democracy you approved of.

It's adorable that you think that would actually matter to him and his cronies. Remember, SCOTUS already told him that any official act is immune.

Sometimes you need an outsider to tell you what is truly going on:

They sent over some people to get the feelings about the electorate and people cared about:
1. price of gasoline
2. coup/ insurrection/ fascism/ rapist/ threat to America didn't matter enough
3. Rogan is the most influential person in the US
4. legal immigrants aren't pro immigration.. they see them as a threat
5. Alarming people think a strongman government is better than squabbling politicians in a democracy if it brings down the price of gas.

Who is doing that? When Trump was saying 2020 was Stolen, that is when that was happening.

Muse said:

Seriously, I see this stuff all the time here. Do you people really believe there won't be a presidential election in 2028? Do you believe that the 2 term limit won't be in effect? Evidently so. How the fuck could that happen? I don't believe it. Besides the political difficulties in that happening, Trump will be 4 years older and he's already a half sentient geezer. Who's going to figure that he should be chief executive until 2032?

You do know that if the majority vote for the earth being flat doesn't mean that it actually is flat?
You do know that democratic elected persons have cancelled democracy and turned the state authoritarian throughout history?
You do know that just because Trump won, doesn't mean that those who oppose his policies will stop fighting for what they believe is right?

And unlike you I don't believe a democratic majority should be used to crush your opponents. It should be used to make the best policies for all citizens no matter their political view.

Immune from prosecution, but he can't decree a constitutional amendment. It has to happen by virtue of constitutionally proscribed actions. Trump can't just say I want a 3rd term. That was made impossible after FDR did it when it was permissible.

Greenman said:

So what kind of democracy should we have? What part of the population should be chosen to elect the president? The majority of the people voted for Trump, more importantly, the majority of the states voted for Trump.
Democracy is a good thing or a bad thing, you can't have it both way's.

He's to be sentenced Nov. 26 for his crimes in New York. I suppose that judge has a lot of power. I wonder what could and will happen.

Hillary might have had a case for that but not this time!

He won fair and square and clear.. ranked choice wouldn't have done jack shit this time.

You're not understanding; we are a Christofascist dictatorship starting next January. He's president for life.

The people wouldn't do that. A majority of the people saw through the fake Russia collusion, fake impeachments, fabricated sexual assault civil trial, protest called insurrection, Political lawfare, and lies. You can only fool the people for so long. When you go too far, they figure it out. Good luck rebuilding trust in the propaganda machine.

Greenman said:

I wasn't implying anything. The statement is simple and complete, the people elected Trump, that's democracy.

Greenman said:

But it's democracy. The majority have spoken and they wanted Trump. Now it seems like you aren't happy with democracy.

I think all the Trump 3rd term bullshit is asinine—kinda of a moot point when MAGA is now the standard-bearer for the Republican Party. There will be no shortage of JD Vances or Trump Juniors running for office in federal/state/local elections for the next decade at least.
