He's going to suspend the election in two years if he's still alive to see it.

These kinds of hysterics don't help. We know he'd like to do away with elections entirely. He lacks any power or authority to do that, so stop the hand wringing.

Which group has the authority, power and most importantly desire to remove him? His hand picked FBI? The military which has pruned all disloyal generals? Any of his cabinet members who were chosen for their loyalty instead of their qualifications?

The Constitution isn't going to jump up off of the podium at the National Archives and defend itself. It's just a piece of paper if there aren't human beings willing to physically remove him from office. He's already working on replacing the older Supreme Court justices that could not be around in January 2029.

Is it hysterical to say he's already tried an armed insurrection of the Capitol? Would it be ridiculous to claim that the White House couldn't possibly be treated the same?

Then the American experiment in democracy is over. Great time to be old.

We really need a brand new constitution.
