Would you take up arms to oppose an illegitimate Trump third term?

No thanks.
Who does Indiana send? Holcomb and Young? Or Rokita and Beckwith? Do you really want to take that chance?
Wife (a Kanuckistani) is starting to freak out. Seriously starting to talk about running home.
What horse are you betting on today? You can't have it both ways.
I have gotten multiple emails from European and Asian scientists that I have worked with in the past, asking if I am ready or willing to relocate.
Find a good property manager and have them rent out your home for enough to pay the mortgage and maintain it. Then take a visiting professor position in Vancouver or London or wherever until the madman is gone.
Maybe.
I’d like to still believe that anything that bad wouldn’t make it through 38 state legislatures.
Perhaps that’s naive?
I think a convention would be a very healthy - perhaps even cathartic - exercise.
What kinds of bad things would you fear might get 38 ratifying states?
A convention full of Rokitas is frightening to contemplate.
OK, but that doesn’t answer my question. It’s kind of a dodge, really.
What sort of bad amendments do you fear would make their way to ratification? Because they only matter if they do. And that takes 38 state legislatures.
I think the nation could really use something like this.
The other horse declared war on the US, remember?
That's a move I wouldn't make, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Doesn't really discuss the "elected" wording, though. Pretty sloppy IMO

You're going to have to trade in the hot wheels for a sea doo to make it across the ocean.
I love how he doesn’t name names. Very important people 🤣🤣
I take back any accusations I made of Trump suffering from dementia. He's a lunatic for sure, but he's a clever one. Those are not the words of a man suffering mental decline; they are the words of a mentally sharp entirely insane person.
He’s curated this personality that he doesn’t deviate from. I know New Yorkers. He’s a New Yorker but it’s not that. It’s just bizarre. How do you pin down, argue with, someone that speaks with certainty about things that are always unverifiable 🤣. It is insane. People tell me.
The best people.
Do you see Lutnick laughing in the background?
And all the best doctors.
Who all tell him he’s as healthy as a young man.
And that he’ll live to be 120. At least.
Probably will. Because he can. Believe me.
Would you really crazed? I’m in the camp of, he should never run for a third term (even if leftist poster child FDR violated this). But, I’ve got kids, a household to think about. I’m not going to join a militia at the moment because this isn’t the 18th or 19th century.
I may be frustrated, but the country is too large for me to feel like I can make an impact. I would feel differently if it was an invasion (think Red Dawn).
The left is full of contradictions. FDR broke a precedent set by George Washington. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Amirite?
No contradiction on the left is nearly as bad as the we are the party of morals so vote for Mr grab em by the pussy
I’m not saying that because I think it would make an impact. I’m saying it because I don’t think I want to hang around to see how it would end.
That would be a fundamental breakdown in norms and would only be the beginning.
Many from the Gravy Seals were lost to fake covid and others are simply too fat to move.
If the US breaks down there will be nowhere to go.
Maybe Iceland or a Nordic country.
I discovered early on that in good companies bad bosses don’t last. Best to just ride it out if that’s otherwise in my best interest.
You say that as if everything would be fine, but for Trump. Once he’s gone, things will revert to normalcy.
I don’t agree with that. I think we got Trump because things aren’t fine. And he was selling a different unicorn…capitalizing on people realizing this.
We need to fix the underlying problem.
Good point on fixing the inderlying problem. That’s a discussion topic of its own. I was actually viewing it from the point of Trump being a demagogue par excellence and as such irreplaceable. Different normalcy and you’re right, that normalcy doesn’t fix any underlying problem.
Interestingly, DOGE may be the most redeeming aspect of this Administration and it’s what’s driving the Democrats batshit crazy. DOGE run properly and without vendetta could solve some underlying problems.
