Of course, all this assumes that Trump leaves office in 2029. I heard and read this AM that supposedly he's going to issue an Executive Order repealing the 20th Amendment and allow himself however many terms he chooses.
22nd amendment. Another way he will attempt to remain in power beyond 1/20/2029: guess who will be manning the electoral count on 1/6/2029? Yup, none other than JD Vance. Don't think for a second that he wouldn't do the fat orange one's bidding regardless of who wins the election on 11/7/2029. No way play doughboy leaves the WH without kicking and screaming.
Take a look at the Hegseth vote in the so-called upper chamber and tell me how you can hope that. A chronic drunk, sexual offender with outrageous ideas about the role of women in society, who thinks we shouldn't second guess military members who commit violent acts against civilians, and who in no way is qualified to be Sec of Defense, will sail through. Likely all of the dangerously unfit clown car of nominees will. So no, that sanity doesn't exist. Worse yet, concern for the security and viability of this country are also gone.
Yes, I suppose you're right, but I really try to stay on the hopeful side. I can only maintain hope for so long, however. I look at his nominees, and it seems the #1 criteria is criminality or cruelty. Blind loyalty is a given People tend to surround themselves with like company, and he may feel it waters down his evil. There is a method to his madness, as the saying goes.
I hope you're right because otherwise Chris has given me a chillingly horrifying yet realistic picture.

I am hopeful there are still enough sane GOP members with spines who will not allow that to happen, but I don't doubt he will try.
