    The guy doing unpopular things thinks we should not have anymore popularity contests. Hmmm…

    The media will downplay this as a joke, then they will normalize it as “what if…” and then it will actually happen.

      And then the media will carry endless pieces debating “both sides” of the elections vs dictatorship issue. Although they won’t call it dictatorship: they’ll call it whatever Stephen Miller decides it should be called.

      All House seats and about 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for election each midterm cycle. Even if the midterms were delayed, all those seats expire at the end of their term regardless.

        Until Trump commands otherwise and his followers and the media go along with it and ICE kidnaps anyone who shows up to take their seat. Then what?

        Do not put all your hopes on midterms saving you. Action needs to be taken now or there won’t be anything left.

    With dems busy repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot, he’ll probably make it to 2028.

      He could be out by the end of this weekend if the working class got organized and just forced him out. Fuck the dems, we can’t wait for them, and we don’t need them. They voted to expand the military industrial complex, they protected the billionaire class and did their bidding for decades. Republicans are nazis and democrats are nazi enablers. We need to remove the whole bunch from power.

    In the same speech, he warned: “You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don’t win the midterms, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”

    Is he campaigning for the Democrats now?

    Whats he worried about? Have his minions manufacture another distraction and half of the dem voters will sit it out again. Maybe he.could collaborate as a guest on the kardashians or something.
