The timing is surreal to me. You see, I recorded a little video, which I uploaded on 3speak comparing Trump to Nero knowing full well there might be ways to shoot down my comparison. The main way one could is to say that in modern times we have no Emperors, nobody can stay in power forever, and then this showed up.
Constitutional Amendment for what?
Congressman Andy Oggles feels that it "would be cool bruh" if Trump can just run for a third term, because fuck the norms bruh. I mean, they didn't let him to his back to back terms, so it only makes sense if you sniff paint too, but alas, here we are.
Hey listen, I'm not panicking or anything, because it doesn't have the support it would need in order for it to affect the law of the land, but the fact that it's even being proposed is frocking crazy to me.
Four step process
- Say some crazy shit jokingly
- normalize the joke
- propose a way to do it
- actually do it
Seems to me that this is how Trump and his enablers do things these days, and I for one can't believe THIS, of all things, would be even a topic of discussion.
But... we got the shirts
Do you guys remember the merch of Trump 2028, 2032... etc.? Yeah, that was a thing when Trump and Biden fought for the highest office. A joke to own the libs, as they say, nothing more, nothing serious. We actually do believe in term limits, but it's just too funny.
But, What if? Yeah, I mean, it would be kind of cool if trump can just MAGA us all the way till the cows come to roost, and then he can just pass the torch to his kids, right?
