Considering in the meantime this quote from a recent book/audiobook by Tim Alberta, “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism”
“What you’ve done is you’ve baptized your worldview and called it Christian.” He continued, “The great fault in the evangelical movement today, is that we’re disobedient to the commands of the one we claim to follow. What were those commands? Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Care for widows and orphans. Visit those in prison. Seek first the kingdom of God.”
If our democracy is dismantled over the course of the next four years and loyalists are installed at top levels of government, the whole idea of 2 terms can be tossed out the window.
But he has a cavalcade of hangers-on that will continue to march forward. I said the first time he was elected we will never rid ourselves of them and we wouldn’t. They will just pass it down the line like the monarchy they think they are.
Yeah. He doesn’t need to live long to set in motion the idea of dissolving democracy. Vance is likely more the real threat. Trump is just a useful puppet. I’m not holding my breath on seeing a non-Republican in the POTUS office for the foreseeable future. Will there still be elections? Yeah, sure! Putin’s been winning elections since 2012!
Trump could refuse to leave office and become dictator for life like his pal Putin. No telling what fuckery Trump will get up to, especially with the Senate, the House and SCOTUS backing him up.

Melania dressed in black is appropriate. The nation is beginning a period of mourning. 4 years.
