Subject: Re: Why Trump keeps yammering about a 3rd term
Completely different level of risk, and completely different approach. Even if the desired outcome is the same - stay in power - it's a whole 'nuther world if you try to dispense with working within the system and just declare yourself a military dictator.

Echoing previous posters, how much of a risk is it really at this point? I was, not exactly hoping, but expecting, that the January 6 rioters would be massacred and there would be 400 to 500 casualties. If that had happened, there would be no more talk of insurrection and no Trump second term. Instead, they were handled with kid gloves, and now they get an amnesty/pardon. Don't tell me white privilege doesn't exist.

If Trump just declared himself dictator for life, who is going to oppose him? definitely not his b1tch, the Republican Party. The mealy-mouthed Democrats, whose biggest accomplishment so far is Corey Booker talking for 25 hours as if that matters at all? Our legislators are losers, one and all. Maybe except for Jasmine Crockett.
