    I wouldn’t call them “allies”, this is confusing when you talk about fascists. Call them “his axis of evil” instead.

    No one says “Hitler fought with allies against Brittain”. Since we’re in a new world war, let’s be clear about who are the allies and who are the axis.

      they dont see conservatives as tyrants. Conservatism is a team-based ideology. Those on the team have leave to break the law with impunity, and are even lauded for it. It only becomes a problem with progressive liberals try to do it, then it’s wrong and worthy of insurrection.

      It’s the 22nd Amendment

      No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

      Pretty unambiguous.

      Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious… just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.

      Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?

      Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom, US imperialism, capitalism, western chauvinism and nearly a century of liberalism led us here. We need to remove the ruling class from power, hold them accountable, restore justice, and create a new future, free from the corrupting influence of capitalism

        article II, section 1, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America:

        The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

        It’s not even in an amendment, it’s defined in the original text. No way he gets enough states together to ratify an amendment to increase his term length.

          The 22nd amendment of the United states constitution, fully ratified in 1951, begins as such:

          No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

          Term length is set to four years for the President and his VP in Article II, Section 1 of the constitution itself (original text) and has not been amended or altered.

          Trump needs 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment, he doesn’t and won’t ever have that.

          I’m assuming you’re American, because it’s very on-brand for Americans to expect someone else to fix their shit for them while they sit by and do nothing (thereby making it everyone else’s problem)

            So you don’t get to claim “on-brand american” exceptionalism “expecting someone else to fix their shit.”

            You threw the first shots, I quipped back. This isn’t “Someone else needs to fix our problems,” this is “If you’re not doing anything to fix everybody’s problem, then shut the fuck up about all the people you think aren’t doing enough.” You have no moral superiority, so get off your fucking pedestal.

            Plenty of USians are doing all they can to resist. Just because it isn’t enough doesn’t mean no one is trying. So why don’t you direct your anger at maga specifically, instead of all the powerless discontents who are doing everything they can despite the hopelessness

    They apparently elect some fascist egoist and want to rule the world. How can they be so utterly narrowminded… they cannot even think about the WHOLE of human kind on this tiny ball in this split second of it’s excistance and act accordingly? Is this counrtry really that stupid? WTF is going on??? Did evolution made an error with these ppl? I am worried, dissapointed and angry about the devolution they create. We are easily 85 years back in time.

      I used to advocate for a life terms for the top MAGAs. That was after the first term, the Insurrection, and the stolen classified documents. After this second term, capital punishment is on the table.

      They should have quit while they were ahead.

        Pedophiles get the rope. Pedophile protectors can swing alongside them. Insurrectionists and traitors get the firing squad. ICE gets to bleed out slowly.

        I was honestly surprised when I heard the jan 6 people crying about how unfair it is that they got prison. Generally speaking, no matter who’s wrong or right, attacking the palace/capitol/whatever tends to end in death.

          I got permabanned for REPEATING a comment that I had posted multiple times before without incident. Once Trump was inaugurated, however, I was immediately permabanned.

          My comment said something like: “Trump and his henchmen are really lucky we live in such a forgiving country. In most countries, at most times in history, on the evening of a failed coup, the traitors would have been dragged out onto the front lawn of the White House, and publicly executed, every last one of them.”

          I wasn’t saying we should do that, I was saying that they were lucky that we didn’t. It was a simple fact, but I was permabanned anyway.
