It's cute how everyone is pretending there'll ever be another election if Trump gets back in. He'll feel spitted, and giving up the presidency a second time will literally feel like an existential issue for him.
For Trump leaving office will be the equivalent of feeling like he's dying, publically and shamefully.
It’s almost as if they think Dictator For A Day™ is somehow something that will actually only last a day.
It's fine, just make whatever rules you want! I'm sure we'll still have the power to stop you when we're tired of your tantrum!
Worse than that, some people think they'll just start a rebellion.
Like bruh, he'll have control of the military. 100,000,000 people with semi-auto rifles are no match for tanks, helicopters, and people with training.
The military isn't made of stormtroopers. The oath of both enlistment and commissioned officers is to the Constitution, not the president; specifically to defend it against "all enemies, foreign and domestic".
He'd get himself assassinated, likely by a military servicemember in accordance with their sworn obligation.
Just because you swear an oath doesn’t mean you will feel like sticking your life on the line to sneak past the secret service and assassinate a domestic enemy president. At best, the military might refuse some unlawful orders.
That's true. All it takes is one person who takes their oath seriously, though.
Hopefully we never get to the point where we find out.
