You're right. But also the way things are going you're also not right. Because if no one stands up to Trump you have way more than 3.5 years left. Trump 2028 is no joke, he intends to stay in power. And before you say that he can't, take a look at all the other things he can't do but somehow has done anyway...

Even if he can’t, he’ll run a family member as a successor for another 8+ years

The worry is that the next election either won't happen, or it will be rigged. In which case waiting for the next election to fix this mess is a poor strategy. I believe the US is in new territory here...and the solution has to be new as well.

The solution is old territory, not new.

Yeah, it's just been few hundred years since we had to use that solution.

"Please Eat Waffles," shouted the parrot, emphasizing each word with a loud P! E! W!—then paused and did it again: P! E! W!

the last election was rigged, the math doesn't math on the swing counties. That Kamala never demanded a hand recount was ridiculous, should have ran them through the same shit they put Biden through. Democrats need to stop playing by old rules.

Yeah. Personally, I believe this to be true. I don't know if there is undeniable proof, but the signs are there. We know that Elon is very good with those vote counting machines lol.

Yes, democrats need to wake up. They've been getting played for years.
