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.

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.

The fact that it isn't 10/10 people disgusts me.
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.
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.
3 of 10? Sounds like a majority by Trumpy/Republican math.
Yeah, that should have been the headline.
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

7 in 10!? It needs to be 11 out of 10!
Libertarians right now with the "tread on me harder daddy" flag hanging on the wall, all that 2nd amendment for show.

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.
Lmao. Great way to normalize ignoring your constitution.
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.

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."

Run for a third term? I'm hoping this piece of shit motherfucker doesn't survive another year.

22/27 says he can't.
But 5/9 might decide if he can, and they have a history of demolishing democracy.
The next time there's an election, make sure to cast your bullet.
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.

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.
It’s always that 30% of people who are just the worst and dragging the rest of the species down…
? in 10 are aware that if Trump were to have a 3rd term it wouldn't be the result of an election.
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.
There's no need for a third term if the second term goes forever and never ends.
Just sayin'.....
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.
