"Let’s imagine the economy tanks. People lose their jobs, Social Security, and benefits. The government becomes dysfunctional and stagnant. There’s a health crisis due to rising cases of measles, bird flu, and a resurgence of a new COVID variant. America becomes isolated as our allies turn from us and tourism tanks."

"People begin mobilizing, organizing, and protesting. Donald Trump, who threatened to unleash the National Guard and military on 'the enemy from within,' makes good on his threat and uses the protests as an excuse to crack down on his enemies. He promotes conspiracies about 'the deep state; threatening to take down the government. He declares Martial Law and cancels elections for the sake of national security."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"This sounds like the plot of a movie. It could never happen here. Of course not. Then again, look at what is happening right now. If you think Trump is leaving willingly, peacefully, or voluntarily, then I suggest you open your eyes and see the reality show from hell that is currently the United States."

"For his self-serving political purposes, expect Trump to keep bringing a third term up—especially as he and his priorities continue to tank in the polls.
Think of it as a leash he can use to control the Republican Party. Every time he feels his lame duck status growing, he can yank that leash hard to re-assert his power and freeze any other Republicans from emerging."

"The time to get serious about knocking out the idea of a third term is now, before he can get it in circulation and give it currency. Two is more than enough."
~ Joyce Vance
"He means it. Make no mistake about that. Above all, don’t laugh it off. ... He’s not joking. He doesn’t have that kind of wit."

"But while this [talk of a third term] can seem like classic Trump 'shiny object' distraction stuff, I think it’s worth paying a little more attention to it. That’s because grassroots Trump supporters, at least, are open to it."

@wdlindsy but then so could Obama 
@wdlindsy Considering his idol, Mr. Putin, pulled it off, I don’t consider it mere joking. He has seen a path to that happening and intends to follow it.
#FBPE @wdlindsy It's a dead cat. To distract attention from the "you'll never have to vote again" promise, which is the real strategy. The second term will simply never end.
