The media has blatantly enabled this MFer for years by doing the whole ‘people are saying’ BS. Just STOP. Don’t repeat it. State that it’s illegal and impossible, and would be unconstitutional, and then stop.
Yup. When you "both sides" insanity, you normalize it.
"We have two sides; those that follow the rule of law, and also these stupid fuckers over here."
They've already normalised the idea enough that they're polling people about whether or not it should happen as if it's a totally valid question to ask. That shouldn't even be a question, the only response should be "no, fuck off, you can't do that". Once again the media are complicit in sanewashing and normalising this shit.
Nine ways from Sunday. I’m actually more surprised when I do have hope because the vast majority of the time I believe it is quite hopeless.
So 3 out of 10 are considered traitors?
3/10 of our neighbors want a dictatorship.
Good to know they'll be outnumbered when we have to shoot them.
7 in 10 don't want him to run. That means 3 in 10 do want him to run. There is that 30% of fucking morons who want Trump forever.
Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed too. 30% of voters actually want a god-king.
Trump received ~32% votes of eligible voters in the 2024 US General. So that statistic is pretty on the mark

So 3/10 want him to run for a third term?
The 3/10s of the population that voted and won
Yup. The non-voters had a choice between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil and felt "sending a message" was more important.
Nah most of them just don't give a shit or know what the hell is going on. As long as they have their Netflix and fast food slop they're good.
3 of 10? Sounds like a majority by Trumpy/Republican math.
Yeah, that should have been the headline.
I can't believe 3 in 10 want him to overthrow the constitution. We're a deeply unserious nation.

My god, why are we even entertaining this?
He CANNOT have a third term.
Legally, or physically?
Ceasers army also can’t cross the rubicon
I bet every one of the three in ten have at some point called themselves a constitutionalist.
I saw a Youtube comment the other day calling for Trump to throw away the constitution, declare himself king and execute judges who don't enact his will. It had likes.
I mean... it's probably Russian bots? Right?
Honestly it probably is. That’s the whole Russian method, sow dissent and make the other side hate and distrust each other. Find every division you can and build the “other” into an evil bogeyman. Of course the fact that the literal nazis have seen this as an opportunity gives it a grain of truth and there is always someone who really believes that.
Yes, it is 100% Russian bot glazing, but that is how propaganda works, some people see all tge bot activity and jump on board.
Biggest Russian troll farm employs over 60,000 people to run tens of accounts at a time.
Lmao. Great way to normalize ignoring your constitution.
Only 70% of Americans can be bothered to give a fuck about the most basic, non-debatable aspect of our Constitution.
Yeah, we're fucked.
Yeah, the headline should be reversed so as not to bury the lede. A full 30% of Americans want to throw out the constitutional guardrails and basic limitations on power that keep us a republic and not an autocracy. That's a terrifying figure.

Or as Trumps puts it:
"Everyone wants me to. They all say what a great idea it would be. They say 'sir..sir...we need you.' Tears streaming down their faces, 'sir please...only you have the ability to make us great again. Tremendous ability, they say. Probably the most tremendous ever if I'm being honest."
The fact that it isn't 10/10 people disgusts me.
It’s always that 30% of people who are just the worst and dragging the rest of the species down…
There's no need for a third term if the second term goes forever and never ends.
Just sayin'.....
According to the constitution, the punishment for traitors is execution

The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: keep the parts you like and throw out the rest.
The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: Cant be bothered to read it, gladly accepts someone else's interpretation.
7 in 10!? It needs to be 11 out of 10!
Libertarians right now with the "tread on me harder daddy" flag hanging on the wall, all that 2nd amendment for show.

This should be 10 out of 10 people. I’m not even American and I know more about American and their constitution than most Americans it seems.
That fat orange Russian muppet should be in jail, not president.

Three of those people are below average in intelligence and the forth can't be bothered to vote (fuck you most of all).
Everyone else congratulate yourselves for having a somewhat functioning brain. Unlike MAGAts, who shouldn't be allowed to operate vehicles in public or even run side-of-the-road fruit stands. At least the swastikas, I mean red hats, make it easy to point them out...
Once again, we see that fucking 30ish% baseline of psychopaths. This timeline fucking sucks.
My grandmother who has a Trump cutout unironically does not want him to run again. She says he's had a good run but is too old now let alone in 3 years.
Run for a third term? I'm hoping this piece of shit motherfucker doesn't survive another year.

22/27 says he can't.
But 5/9 might decide if he can, and they have a history of demolishing democracy.
? in 10 are aware that if Trump were to have a 3rd term it wouldn't be the result of an election.
The next time there's an election, make sure to cast your bullet.
If he's still alive and in office for the Fall of '28, there will not be an election and he will not leave the WH.
