If He Remains in Office Through 2028...

[berg80]

President Trump has dropped unsubtle hints about his desire to cancel the November elections. “We have to even run against these people,” he said in a speech last month. “I won’t say cancel the election; they should cancel the election.” Mr. Trump didn’t stop there. “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election,” he mused a week later.

These remarks have caused understandable concern, but they are empty threats. Mr. Trump’s power depends on the appearance of winning elections, and he knows it. He’s obsessed with convincing the world he won in 2020. And control over elections is dispersed among thousands of officials across the country, making cancellation impossible.

But more to the point, it’s election subversion, not cancellation, that is the real authoritarian move. The goal is to keep elections going but without unseating those in power.

Look around the world. Vladimir Putin hasn’t canceled an election. Iran has regular elections. In the 21st century, the name of the game is “competitive authoritarianism,” in which democratic institutions and elections persist, but are hollowed out by authoritarian incumbents. Elections — even if they’re rigged — give rulers legitimacy.

... Will Trump be forced to bear the elective consequences of the first two years of his term?

Will he have his gold Congressional Carte Blanche revoked?

Will he be able to continue on his current retrograde trajectory?

Will he be able to prevent a democratic election in November?

Your auguries, please.​

I would be very surprised if the Republicans didn’t lose the midterms. Most Presidents do and Trump has done everything in his power it seems to make sure that happens. Saying he’s had Congressional “Carte Blanche” is a wild over statement though

History will show that R's continuously lost their collective shit questioning Joe Biden's capacity to be prez while routinely ignoring repeated, recorded instances of Don displaying a detachment from reality. Or what I call Reality Detachment Syndrome. RDS being an affliction suffered by the vast majority of those in trump's cult.

The clumsy "but Biden" deflection has always been funny because the two people couldn't be any more different in temperament or actions.

But the voices they trust have painted him as Satan incarnate, so they've gotta mindlessly follow along.

If your D Party has any credibility and honor, they’d impeach and remove the warmongering Zionist pedo after the mid-terms.

Takes 2/3s of Senate to impeach and remove....he won't be removed.

They needed a counter narrative to justify their support of trump. The most incompetent, corrupt, immoral prez in US history. So they fabricated a steaming pile of horseshit to avoid self reflection.

Too bad. It only means both gangs are corrupted and incompetent. Neither is looking out for the American people or abiding by the Constitution.

Actually that is true for democrats, the party of 18% approval, the party of no ideas or bad ideas, even democrats don't like democrats.

90% of Republicans approve the Trump agenda and accomplishments, see the difference?

**** both parties asshole. You uniparty dupes never learn.

Only one party elected a man, leading a lawless regime, who tried to steal the 2020. Only one party continues to support a regime filled with incompetent people who lied about the killings in MN. Only one party is violating the law requiring the release of all the Epstein files.

Your false equivalences are rejected.

The inevitable "But Biden..." deflection cries out for a descending duck every time.
