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.
In case anyone is still unsure, he is not willingly leaving in 2028. Everything that’s happening indicates he is setting up a path for him to remain. One of two things are going to happen in our future.
We will need to march on DC in INSANE numbers and force him to leave with the threat of lethal force.
We will have to use lethal force to make him leave.
Only other possibility is he dies of natural causes before then. But then we get Vance and we’ll probably have to do the same thing. This isn’t just Trump. The entire GOP apparatus is a fascist movement. The only reason he didn’t do it last time is because he hadn’t set up the foundation for him to remain by doing things like, I don’t know, instructing the FBI to arrest federal judges who oppose him, which is a line we just crossed today.
Fascism is here. Arm yourselves. Help others arm themselves. Train. Help others train.
So it’s gonna be January 6th all over again?
I’m not trying to be a pessimist, but this is the same kind of logic J6ers used in 2021. They believed that the election was stolen and tried to invade the capitol as a result.
I’d like to be proven wrong here, but if a massive crowd of armed people show up to the capitol doors if trump is somehow reelected in 2028, you’d be hard pressed to convince most normal people that it’s any different than J6.
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.
He doesn’t care about that. Because he’s going to jail after regardless. So whilst he may be president, he’s fucked suffer way
If Trump dies in 2026 then there are 10 constitutionally valid years of Vance ruling.
Do you think the Constitution will stay unaltered until 2036?
Yes, all the ways to alter the constitution are fundamentally broken.
Because of this comment, I think I’m going to start saving a little money for a quick trip to DC. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I think I want to be there when it does.
We’ll see. But I’ll be marching at your side if it comes down to it.
