The fact people are even talking about this, means we are so fucked.
Yup. When you "both sides" insanity, you normalize it.
"We have two sides; those that follow the rule of law, and also these stupid fuckers over here."
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.
7 in 10 don't want him to run. That means 3 in 10 do want him to run. There is that 30% of fucking morons who want Trump forever.
Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed too. 30% of voters actually want a god-king.
Depending on how they did this poll, 3-4/10 don't vote so their opinion doesn't matter anyways.
And his approval rating hovers around 30-40% so this tracks.
Insane regardless, but the 3/10 also includes people without an opinion. Depending on how it's worded, it could even include people who are only OK with it if it's legal, or something like that, which it isn't.
You can fool some of the people all of the time.
Trump received ~32% votes of eligible voters in the 2024 US General. So that statistic is pretty on the mark
Unless ur asking a sizable portion of every state polls are basically meaningless
I bet every one of the three in ten have at some point called themselves a constitutionalist.
I saw a Youtube comment the other day calling for Trump to throw away the constitution, declare himself king and execute judges who don't enact his will. It had likes.
I mean... it's probably Russian bots? Right?
Honestly it probably is. That’s the whole Russian method, sow dissent and make the other side hate and distrust each other. Find every division you can and build the “other” into an evil bogeyman. Of course the fact that the literal nazis have seen this as an opportunity gives it a grain of truth and there is always someone who really believes that.
I can't believe 3 in 10 want him to overthrow the constitution. We're a deeply unserious nation.
I think they're serious.
The fact that it isn't 10/10 people disgusts me.
So 3/10 want him to run for a third term?
The 3/10s of the population that voted and won
Yup. The non-voters had a choice between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil and felt "sending a message" was more important.
Nah most of them just don't give a shit or know what the hell is going on. As long as they have their Netflix and fast food slop they're good.
Yeah, that should have been the headline.
3 of 10? Sounds like a majority by Trumpy/Republican math.
So 3 out of 10 are considered traitors?
3/10 of our neighbors want a dictatorship.
Good to know they'll be outnumbered when we have to shoot them.
My god, why are we even entertaining this?
He CANNOT have a third term.
Legally, or physically?
Ceasers army also can’t cross the rubicon
According to the constitution, the punishment for traitors is execution
But treason is carefully defined as something that only applies to giving aid to enemies of the US during a time of war. The US hasn't declared war since WWII.
Yea well. The alien Enemies Act was supposed to only apply to wartime as well, but see how that turned out.
Those last three should be shot
We should have just not worn masks. These are the geriatric dumbasses that were begging to die during covid.
Libertarians right now with the "tread on me harder daddy" flag hanging on the wall, all that 2nd amendment for show.
Were not there...yet.
7 in 10!? It needs to be 11 out of 10!
This should be 10 out of 10 people. I’m not even American and I know more about American and their constitution than most Americans it seems.
That fat orange Russian muppet should be in jail, not president.
The constitution was ment to be rewritten and adjusted, because times are changing. Even these slave keeping cunts knew that. So i don't think pointing at the constitution should mean too much. But it is hilarious that just suggesting that the 2nd amendment could maybe not be the best idea, makes the same people frothing out of their pie holes who also want to overthrow the government and keep the fattest most incompetent person in charge.
Once again, we see that fucking 30ish% baseline of psychopaths. This timeline fucking sucks.
I'm rather hoping he strokes out before the end of this one.
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.
IIRC, there is actually already a law on how that is supposed to play out.
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
Lmao. Great way to normalize ignoring your constitution.
The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: keep the parts you like and throw out the rest.
The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: Cant be bothered to read it, gladly accepts someone else's interpretation.
Run for a third term? I'm hoping this piece of shit motherfucker doesn't survive another year.
i hope he chokes on a pickle.
If he's still alive and in office for the Fall of '28, there will not be an election and he will not leave the WH.
It's the white house, not a school, he's gonna be fine. He also has two sons who can reign supreme.
I don't think the powers in DC will allow his kids to be in any leadership roles. Without Dad around, nobody wants his kids around.
There will still be an election. Only white republican christian men will be allowed to vote though.
Maybe, yet, I'm going with zero election. Whether Trump lives or Repugnants have captured the country enough to install Vance or another Nazi.
They're already pushing voter restriction laws to keep the deck stacked in their favor. Russia still has elections too just to keep the appearance of legitimacy, but we all know how fair and honest those are. Team trump will keep the grift going to keep things looking like everything is fair and the voters chose him.
It’s always that 30% of people who are just the worst and dragging the rest of the species down…
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."
@Adderbox76 A pure narcissist speaking
The next time there's an election, make sure to cast your bullet.
That’s nice but rest assured we will not be consulted when they inevitably decide to further their mockery of the constitution and the very idea of patriotism.
? in 10 are aware that if Trump were to have a 3rd term it wouldn't be the result of an election.
There's no need for a third term if the second term goes forever and never ends.
Just sayin'.....
22/27 says he can't.
But 5/9 might decide if he can, and they have a history of demolishing democracy.
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.
The Constitution has FLAWS! People like TRUMP SHOULD be Able to Run for MORE then 2 Terms!
-People who Defend Mass Child Killers because NO ONE SHALL INFRINGE NO ONE SHALL INFRINGE PRO LIFE!
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...
Link to the data if you didn’t make it to the bottom
If trump is eligible I want Obama eligible as a nominee
Or someone competent
