We've reached level four. That isn't a good thing.

Go ahead and make your case that what Lincoln did around the time of the Civil War is analogous to what trump has done and is doing. As always, you will fail.

Authoritarians change election rules to help their party, and they rewrite laws — or violate their spirit — to ignore term limits.

Mr. Trump’s biggest attempt to follow this playbook failed, when he was unable to undo his election defeat to Joe Biden in 2020. But that effort showed Mr. Trump’s willingness to break the law to remain in power.

In his second term, he has shown worrisome signs of using his power to entrench the Republican Party’s hold on the government. He has pressed Republicans to take gerrymandering to a new extreme. He issued an executive order in March that seeks to interfere with how states run their elections. These moves increase the chances that Republicans will keep control of Congress even if most voters want to oust them.

Mr. Trump has not taken concrete steps to remain in power for a third term, which the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution was written to forbid. He has alternated between floating the idea and suggesting he understands that he must leave the presidency for good on Jan. 20, 2029.

I.knew when trump dismantled CISA that he was launching a huge misinformation campaign around the ellections and possibly changing results so he and the republicans can stay in power. CISA also dealt with protecting US from cyber attacks from China and Russia so he left US more open to those attacks than ever.. That's just how much he cares about the average Joe American. Not at all !

Some brown shirts knocked on your door after posting this right?

So far the number of deportees is in the 50k range. They're on track for 100k before the end of the year. That's still a drop in the bucket.

Imagine my surprise that you have nothing to say. One more observation. I find it curious for someone who claims to hate trump that you consistently use your meager abilities to try, but fail, to defend him.

how is that defending trump?....
