You'll have to forgive my sinister motives, but this was the sort of response I was hoping to elicit from you.  The idea that Trump won't leave office isn't just a liberal fear, more importantly it is something that a lot of conservatives want and/or think is necessary to save this country.  A lot of Trump's supporters buy into his assertations that only he can fix things, and when millions of voters are convinced only one man on the planet can save this country from absolute ruin you can't convince me there is a 100% chance he and his supporters are going to say that 4 years is enough to save this country and save it for good.

And I may have you mixed up with someone else, but aren't you the one who said you thought Mitt Romney was the kind of candidate who would unite both sides?  Romney is able to see and point out that Trump is hardly another run of the mill candidate, so if that is you I'm not sure why you'd think a guy who says stuff you dismiss a liberal brain rot would unite voters.

I don't mind disagreeing with you, I just think you and I aren't operating within the same reality here if you think Trump sticking around is merely a liberal fear when the bigger point and threat is that it is a conservative dream.  Whether you love Trump or hate him or think he's the better or worse of two dud candidates, the fact is that "Trump staying for more than 4 years" is something both sides are thinking about with different views on how awesome it would be.

No one I know seriously thought DTJ was not going to leave office last time, nor do they think he would remain in office beyond his second term, if he wins it. That's the stuff they peddle on The View.

Again, my view of voters is biased because I no longer live in Chicago or Pittsburgh, but now that I'm in rural PA I can assure you there are people who told me Trump won in 2020 and Biden wasn't going to be president, and I know people who were watching the inauguration "knowing" that Trump was going to show up and have Biden and Harris arrested and announce his second (and maybe then some) term.  I know people who think we need to let Trump fix this country and let him take as long as he needs.  Do I think they represent everyone?  No, but you should have tried talking to them for the past 4 years.  I have a buddy who'd tag you in gladly to see if you could convince his parents Trump isn't the current president.

I also know people who believe Biden represents or serves Satan while Trump was hand-picked by Jesus Christ to save us from liberals who grind up babies and rub their bodies on their faces in order to have eternal youth, including Hillary Clinton, who would prove that doesn't work if you ask me, but I wouldn't even bother trying to change their minds.

If Biden gets elected, the country will survive.

Right or wrong, a lot of folks won't believe this, but I'd legit be interested to hear how many people who are terrified of a Biden second term you've managed to calm down.
