    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.

    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?

        Yes, it is 100% Russian bot glazing, but that is how propaganda works, some people see all tge bot activity and jump on board.

        Biggest Russian troll farm employs over 60,000 people to run tens of accounts at a time.

        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.

    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.

      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.

    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 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.

      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.

      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.
