    It’s very optimistic to believe Trump will leave in 4 years. He’ll find ways to extend his presidency for life time.

        I’m much more scared of Trumpism than I am of the man. The next guy is taking notes on how to wield his rhetoric, and will actually be competent at pushing through even greater evil.

      Trump gone in four years isn’t really the point anymore. It could be Trump, it could be any other MAGA republican. The mask has been off for a long time but it’s never, ever been more evident how rotten to the absolute core America is. Over 70 million people voted for this. Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom.

      I honestly think he’ll get 25th’d out of office pretty soon after the inauguration, and then JD Vance will take over.

          Nah, the 25th just means he’s physically or mentally unfit to perform the office. At the least, I expect Vance to be a shadow president.

            I know what it is. It would be construed by trump and the GOP as a loss, and he would politically or physically assassinate anyone pushing for that action, and now the Supreme Court ruled that is totally cool and totally legal.

        lol I remember the memes from 2017 where people posted images of Mike Pence labelled “46th President of the United States”

        something something predictions are always hard especially when they concern the future

      That’s honestly what scares me the most. I think we can survive another 4 years of Trump. What I don’t think we could survive is if he completely destroys what democracy stands for and gets rid of our term limit for presidency. That is completely terrifying to me and seems to be a very real threat. Trump is old and he’ll probably die soon, but if he gets rid of term limits then who knows what kind of horrifying monster we could have ruling the country indefinitely after his death once that precedent is set.

      But at least I have another 4 years roughly before I have to start worrying about that I guess.

      So, hopefully less than 4 years, then.
