Trump and conservative media and a lot of conservatives have incorporated what I'd consider a troubling amount of acceptance/admiration for leaders and countries that are far less democratic than ours.  That is what makes me think a similar move in this country is more likely than it was in other elections. Honestly, the idea that "it can't happen to me" is the first step towards it happening to you in a lot of cases...maybe this is one of them.

You change minds before you change policy, and I think enough people are into the idea that Trump sticking around for more than 4 years wouldn't be a travesty, rather it'd be pretty awesome for it to happen.  Besides, we're going to let him back in via democracy, so why not suspend things for a bit.  If Trump wins 2 non consecutive terms it'll be a sign to many that we as a country admitted we made a mistake by letting someone else in.  Trump will be 78, how long could he be around?  Why not let him have more than 4 years to fix things?


Or devil's advocate...explain to me why Trump shouldn't stick around for more than 4 years if we re elected him.

one word for you

SUCCESS BREEDS SUCCESS AND LIKELY VP CHOICE WINS 2028 ELECTION.
