Summary
The Trump Store released $50 “Trump 2028” hats Thursday, sparking backlash online as Trump has repeatedly hinted at running for a third term.
“I have had more people ask me to have a third term,” Trump said on March 31, claiming the 2020 election was “totally rigged.”
Steve Bannon said he’s exploring “five or six different alternatives” to enable a third run.
Critics on social media called it “insane” and a sign of “fascist” ambitions. Though barred by the 22nd Amendment, Trump could run again if it were overturned by Congress and the states. However, it would require a two-thirds vote of Congress and three-fourths vote of the states.
What showed up on Jan 6 were a few thousand redneck losers, many of whom already had criminal convictions. What I’m talking about is something that will need to be larger than the Civil Rights march on DC in '63. Larger than the 2020 protests. What showed up on Jan 6 were dipshits who believed an election was stolen without a shred of evidence. If this fuck tries remaining after 2 terms there’s no guesswork involved. No BELIEF that something is wrong. You’re going to see something unlike anything this country has seen before that unites all liberals, all independents, a lot of people who never identified as anything before, and probably even a lot of conservatives who still have some sort of red line.
A president only getting 2 terms is one of those basic, foundational rules that is easy to understand. There’s lots of grey area in what Trump and his fascist enablers are doing, especially to stupid people. But even stupid people get the 2 term rule and can grasp why it matters.
I used to think that. Then Trump got elected again.
People are legitimately stupid and I have no patience for it anymore. I’m losing my mind and I don’t know how to protect my family when shit hits the fan.
I’m scared, man. It’s giving me nightmares.
