    He will probably suspend the constitution soon. He will at least make a serious effort to have the entire thing suspended due to “far left radical insurgency” or too many “illegal aliens disrupting the political process”.

    Idk why he’s talking about a 3rd term. I don’t think anyone expects him to live out this one. He is very old. 4 years of being a fascist dictator might as well be a decade off of his lifespan. There’s no way he’d be physically capable of running again. Being the most vile human being alive is actually very bad for your physical health.

      Why suspend it when you can just ignore it?

      Look a fascism lite in Russia or Turkey – they still pretend to have democracy and rule of law – that’s the power of pretending.

        There also comes a point where they don’t have to hide anymore. They’re doing Nazi salutes on television. They’re pardoning white supremacist neo Nazis. They’re already there. Why pretend when they can just deny that such a thing exists or should exist in the first place? Fascists will love it, and that’s where his core supporters are anyway.
