IMO, the current administration is the biggest threat to democracy in the history of this nation, and right now its PR is being lead by a clown that paints his face orange each morning.

The right wants him replaced just as much as the left -- and preferably quickly enough that Vance might get 3 terms. So be careful what you wish for, because right now Trump is actually doing a phenomenal job of fueling outrage over project 2025 agendas. Someone with more intellect will be better able to mask their radical nature.

He would at most get 2.49999 terms. You have not read the 22nd amendment. You can't get 3 terms aside from repeatedly being elected as VP and the primary president losing office 4+ times.

it’s funny and concerning you think trump cares what a piece of parchment says

[–] hyperhopper@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is a situation that implies he is either impeached , resigned, or dead, so I'm not sure what his interpretation has to do with this conversation

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

you think he will resign, or be impeached?

I envy your naivety

[–] hyperhopper@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I do not think any of the 3 that I mentioned are likely. But that is the world view the parent comment assumes, and my comment is just continuing his assumption but showing why his extrapolations are incorrect

[–] nxn@biglemmowski.win 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I said "3 terms" because his timespan in office would exceed the expected ~8 year limit of the 2 term cycle. But, before you reply, I do understand your logic, so please don't.

[–] hyperhopper@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

3 terms is 12 years. 2+4+4 is not 12

Threat to democracy world wide.
