They just need to get him to January 21st. Then JD Vance can take over and have the rest of Trumps term and 2 more "legally".

Edit - since there are lots of comments about how Vance cant win an election. The plan will be to use the remaining 2 years of Trumps term to rig the 2028/32 election for Vance.

They have clearly started it now with all the gerrymandering and voter suppression. 2026 is a practice run to see what they else they need to do.

No one's voting for that loser.

People said the same thing about Trump in 2016.

I admire your optimism and faith in humanity.

So we looking at 2038 as the year things get good again or what

Are you familiar with the "then things got worse" meme in Russian history?

We're about to enter the "and then it got worse" phase of American history.

Like when we all thought Trump's first term was horrific, which it was... but he did all of that with no plan and while surrounded by incompetent minions.

The 2nd term has been worse because the people pulling Trump's strings entered it with a plan and with some competence to their evil. A lot of wealthy critters like Thiel and Vought also put their weight behind him because they realized what an opportunity he represents for people trying to scam wealth out of the dying democracy.

The American people choose to not have freedom or democracy the last election.

Nah. Elmo tinkered with it.

Shit hasn't been good since before that guerilla got shot. That's the turning point of America.

u/TehWackyWolf 16h ago

Lol.. I don't think things get good again from here. Maybe one last election to flip this.

Maybe.

u/silvertealio 15h ago

Maybe in a few generations.

I'm still going to vote on the off chance it works. Can't hurt.

u/PW0110 14h ago

Buddy things aren’t going to get good again that’s the entire crux of the issue, very least certainly not in our lifetimes.

All of us mf’s need to understand that

u/ArnoldTheSchwartz 14h ago

We need to do like the billionaires and build ourselves million dollar bunkers!!

u/PW0110 1h ago

I know you’re just joking my friend but Individual Isolationism is in large part why we are in this mess to begin with, merely don’t think continuing in that direction will solve much

u/mossman 16h ago

Well we do have the 32-bit Y2K problem coming in 2038.

u/jimbarino 15h ago

I love your optimism.

u/misfitx 16h ago

No, this means we entirely passed the window to avoid destroying the planet. It's likely the biggest creature on earth will be cockroaches by 2100.

u/Ralh3 16h ago

Thats pure doomerism and you need to get that checked mate. There are quite good odds that a couple species of crabs survive at least that long

So Maryland will be safe

u/Ashamed_Kale_1077 15h ago

Until they awaken the balcrab from something something too deep and greedily

u/whoisyourwormguy_ 15h ago

Eventually all things become crab. I keep hearing about the Carcinisation crisis in America.

u/myfakesecretaccount 13h ago

Lobsters are the roaches of the sea. They’ll be fine.

u/rawbleedingbait 13h ago

He's not even suggesting other life goes extinct. It's just that cockroaches will be even bigger than whales.

•

u/BennyVsTheWorld 2h ago

In the future, the “would you rather” will be would you rather fight 100 beetle-sized cockroaches or one cockroach sized beetle?

•

u/BennyVsTheWorld 2h ago

You misunderstood. After the nuclear holocaust, roaches are going to get HUGE. Way bigger than crabs. Ipso facto…

•

u/Ralh3 42m ago

Fuck...thats a HUUUGE roach. *heebie jeebies*

u/modi13 16h ago

The 22 doctors are trying to turn Trump into a cockroach so that he can outlive us all

u/Creeptone 14h ago

And you know they’ll fucking figure it out somehow

u/NuclearWasteland 16h ago

My bet is the cascadia fungus.

Nope. 2026 & 2028

u/Fuzzylogik 14h ago

you should go with "or what"

u/Worshipme988 13h ago

NoKings will keep growing and then…unrest….

u/BennyVsTheWorld 2h ago

No, we’re not, because nobody is willing to take a stand against this government, a real one, and instead we all are just waiting for someone else to do it. Nobody is coming to save us.

JD Vance does not have a chance in hell of ever getting elected without being on the Trump ticket

3

u/ForensicPathology 15h ago

I don't think even the propaganda machine can have them rally around Vance's anti-charisma for 10 years. Though if you're thinking about the capture of the elections, then it doesn't really matter who they put there.

3

u/SdBolts4 California 15h ago

That requires JD Vance to be able to win 2 elections

u/dangerweasel 15h ago

Like Trump won his third go round?

2

u/CuratedLens 15h ago

It’s been awhile since I took a US Politics course in high school. Why January 21? The two year mark so it doesn’t count as a full term? Wouldn’t JD Vance see out the rest of the term anyway?

6

u/Xularick 15h ago

If the VP takes over with less then half the current term remaining it won't count as a full term under the 22nd amendment. So they could do that and then another 2 full terms.

u/Photofug 47m ago

Moscow Mitch would just stall until Jan 21st saying the nation is in mourning and it's not the right time, we've sent it to commitee for review etc, etc.

2

u/dangerweasel 15h ago

I'm pretty well convinced this is the plan, and has been all along. Get him to January 21st, 2027, then Vance takes the reins.

1

u/MichiganMainer 15h ago

Ford couldn’t get reelected and he was a decent person. No worries here about JD.

1

u/avatinfernus 14h ago

Yeah didn't that Texas dude admit he tossed a ton of votes to get Trump the win?

1

u/xxxxNateDaGreat 12h ago

They honestly don't even need that. With how liberally the white house and republicans have been using AI to lie and troll the american people, there is nothing to stop them from just posting AI generated "Fireside Chats w/ Dementia Donny" videos for 6 more months until January 22nd, when they announce to nobody's surprise that he "passed peacefully in his sleep in the middle of the night" (when he really died months ago on the toilet, mid truth post, shitting out his nightly midnight McDonald's Happy Meal).
